A. Whenever a position covered by this system becomes vacant, the appointing authority, if it desires to fill the vacancy, shall make requisition to the Commission for the names and addresses of persons eligible for and willing and able to accept said appointment. The appointing authority shall fill such vacancies by appointment from the register of persons certified by the Commission therefor. To facilitate the selection of appointees from the persons so certified, the appointing authority may require such persons to come before him/her and shall be entitled to inspect such persons’ application and examination papers, and require background, psychological, and polygraph examinations, and may fill such positions by appointment from the persons so certified without regard to their order of certification.

B. No appointment, employment or promotion in this system shall be deemed complete until after the expiration of a period of not less than 6 months’, nor more than 1 year’s, probationary service. Before the expiration of the period of probation, the appointing authority may terminate or, in the case of a promotion, demote an appointee upon filing in writing the reasons therefor with the Commission. If an appointee is not terminated or demoted prior to the expiration of the period of probationary service, his/her appointment shall be deemed complete. An appointee shall not have a right to review by or a hearing before the Civil Service Commission for termination, demotion, suspension or other disciplinary actions imposed during the probationary period.
