SECTION 260:25-9-71. Certification methods  


Latest version.
  • (a)   Availability. The Administrator shall issue certificates which include the names of eligibles whose statements of availability and qualifications match the conditions of employment specified by the Appointing Authority on the request for certification.
    (b)   Work location.
    (1)   The Administrator may certify all eligibles on a register, regardless of availability, if the conditions of employment are the same for all positions in that job family within the agency.
    (2)   When filling vacancies, an Appointing Authority may request that the Administrator issue a local certificate or certify available eligibles on the basis of score rank only. A "local certificate" is a subset of eligible applicants on a register who are residents of the locality, i.e., the county where the local office is located or said county and adjacent counties or a group of contiguous counties comprising a service area of an agency [74:840-4.13], and whose conditions of availability for a job correspond to those of the vacant position. On a local certificate, eligible applicants from the locality are ranked by examination score, including any awards of veterans preference, and are certified ahead of other available applicants who live outside the locality.
    (c)   Number of names. After receiving a request, the Administrator shall issue a certificate to the Appointing Authority. The certificate shall include the names of the top 10 available eligibles on the register for a job, plus anyone who is tied with the lowest ranked eligible within the hiring rule [74:840- 4.13]. At the request of the Appointing Authority, the Administrator may also issue additional names to be considered in accordance with 260:25-9-92.
