10-002 Code Vt. R. 10-040-002-X - CERTIFICATION OF NAMES FROM A REGISTER

Section 9.01 Request for Certification

When a classified position becomes vacant or when a new position is established and such position is to be filled by competitive procedures, a request for certification shall be submitted to the Commissioner on a prescribed form. Upon receipt of such request, the Commissioner will certify from the appropriate register the names of available persons having the three highest qualifying scores, provided that if there are fewer than five available candidates in the top three qualifying scores, the next lower qualifying score or scores shall be certified in order that an appointing authority have a minimum of five candidates with scores to consider. If the request is for an open-competitive certificate, the remaining candidates on the register who are eligible for veterans' preference will be given such preference as is authorized by law; if such an individual's score, with preference added, is equivalent to or higher than the lowest qualifying score certified, that person's name will be included on the hiring certificate. The score shown on an open-competitive certificate will be the total of the candidate's qualifying score and veterans' preference points, if any. Candidates eligible for re-employment, transfer, demotion or restoration will be certified without scores as appropriate.

9.011 An individual who has already been certified and is still under consideration for a particular vacancy will not be certified again on the same hiring certificate for the same vacancy.

9.012 A hiring certificate will expire thirty days following issuance unless extended by the Commissioner.

9.013 Each candidate who is interviewed subsequent to being certified on an open-competitive, State promotional or agency promotional certificate shall be notified promptly by the hiring agency when a decision is made regarding the position for which he was certified. The Commissioner may require a copy of each letter of notification to be filed with the Department of Personnel.
