123:1-23-01 Filling vacancy from eligible list.

Whenever there is a vacancy in a position having a classification above the lowest grade in a series, the Director of Administrative Services shall determine whether the position is to be filled by promotional examination or by open-competitive examination. The cooperation of the department heads may be sought in making this decision. If the vacancy is to be filled by promotional examination, the Director shall determine which classes of certified employees (who have completed their probationary period) shall be eligible to compete. When a promotional examination is held the eligible list resulting from such examination shall be used to fill the vacancy. If an open-competitive examination is held, the procedure defined in Chapters 123:1-15 and 123:1-17 shall be applicable. If there is both a promotional list and an open-competitive list for a particular classification, the promotional list shall be used before the open-competitive list.
