SECTION 260:25-13-71. Agency priority reemployment consideration requirements

(a)   Before any vacant position in the classified service is filled by the initial appointment of any person from an employment register, an Appointing Authority shall request a list of the names of persons appearing on the Priority Reemployment Consideration Roster for the appropriate job family level [74:840-2.27C]. The Appointing Authority shall give such persons priority consideration for reemployment and may appoint any person whose name appears on such list regardless of rank [74:840-2.27C].

(b)   An Appointing Authority may make an initial appointment from a certificate of eligibles as provided in 260:25-9-92, only after certifying in writing to the Administrator that any and all persons whose names appear on the Priority Reemployment Consideration Roster for the job family level were first given priority consideration for reemployment. This requirement does not mandate the appointment of a person from a Priority Reemployment Consideration Roster and does not apply to internal appointments and actions, such as, promotions and reinstatements.
