3.3 Filling of Vacancies
Efforts will be made by the Board of Health, as far as practicable, to select among
current qualified employees for promotion to vacant positions. The Board of Health will
post internally for five (5) calendar days, vacancies, above the entry level, which occur or
which are imminent within the agency, except in those cases where an employee is eligible
for reinstatement from layoff to the vacant position. During the five (5) day posting period,
any employee wishing to apply for the vacant position shall submit a written application to
the Health Commissioner, or his designee. The Board of Health shall not be obligated to
consider any applications submitted after the close of the posting period.
If no current employee is determined to be qualified for a vacant position, or if a
vacancy exists which is an entry level position, the job shall be filled through selection of
qualified outside job applicants. The Board of Health shall publicly announce any such
vacancies to be filled.
