Emergency appointments -- Public inspection of lists -- Reinstatement of
names.
(1)Each eligible list shall remain in force until exhausted, or until replaced by a more
recently prepared list, but not beyond two
(2)years from the date of its
establishment. The names of persons who have indicated in writing to the director
that they are unwilling to accept appointment, or request in writing that their names
be dropped from the list, or who have been certified for appointment three
(3)times
and not appointed, shall be dropped from the list.
(2)If during the lifetime of a list it shall have dwindled to the point that three
(3)or
fewer names remain thereon, or if for other reason the board deems it necessary for
the good of the service to prepare and establish a supplemental list, the board may
in its discretion do so; in such event the original list shall be combined with the
supplemental list, and all names shall be placed on the combined list according to
grade, without regard to priority in time of examination; provided, however, no
name shall remain upon eligible lists for a period longer than two
(2)years, at
which time it shall be dropped from the list. The board, by rule, may prescribe other
reasons for removal of names from an eligible list and for written notice to those so
removed.
(3)In the absence of any appropriate eligible list any position or office may be filled
temporarily by the appointing authority without examination for a period not to
exceed ninety
(90)days, during which time the board shall hold the necessary
examination for the filling of the place regularly, but persons may be temporarily
employed for emergency work without examination for the period of the
emergency, in no event to exceed ninety
(90)days in any one
(1)fiscal year, such
appointment to be an emergency appointment and the same shall not be renewed.
No person shall be appointed or employed under any title not appropriate to the
duties to be performed. No person shall be transferred to or assigned to perform any
duties of any position subject to competitive tests unless he shall have been
appointed to the position from which transfer is made as a result of a competitive
test, equivalent to that required for the position to be filled, or appointed as
otherwise herein provided under KRS 90.180 and 90.210.
(4)Each list of eligibles, with the respective grades, shall be open to public inspection.
Any person appointed from the eligible list and laid-off for lack of work, or lack of
appropriation, shall be placed at the head of the eligible list, and shall be eligible for
reappointment for a period of eligibility as provided by the rules of the board.
