Monterey Municipal Code Art. 8 Employment Lists

Candidates who successfully complete all components of the examination shall be placed on the appropriate employment list. Placement on any open or promotional list does not imply any right to employment. Preparation and maintenance of employment lists under these Rules shall be the responsibility of the Human Resources Director (Ord 3385; 02/07).

a.All open-competitive and promotional lists shall remain in effect for one (1) year unless exhausted or abolished within that period as provided below, or unless established for a period of shorter duration in advance of the recruitment by the Human Resources Director (Ord 3385; 02/07). The Human Resources Director (Ord 3385; 02/07) may extend any such list for up to twelve (12) months. The effective date of a list shall be that date on which it is approved by the Human Resources Director (Ord. 3385, 2007)

b.The Human Resources Director (Ord 3385; 02/07) may abolish any employment list which has three (3) or fewer eligibles.

A regular employee laid off or reassigned to a lower classification in lieu of layoff shall be placed on a reemployment list for his/her former classification or in a subordinate related classification. The terms and conditions governing the use of such lists shall be as set forth in Section 13.03 of these Rules.

A regular employee who resigns in good standing may, at his/her request, be placed upon a reinstatement list for his/her former classification. The terms and conditions governing reinstatement of former employees shall be subject to the provisions of Section 11.03 of these Rules.

The Human Resources Director (Ord 3385; 02/07) may remove the names of eligibles from promotional and open-competitive employment lists:

a.Upon written request of the eligible; or

b.Upon appointment to a regular position in the classification for which the list was established; or

c.Upon failure of the eligible to respond for an employment interview or action requested by the City to determine suitability for employment, after reasonable attempts to contact the eligible have been made; or

d.Upon the eligible having been refused an appointment after certification and employment interview; or

e.Upon the eligible having refused an employment interview or appointment; or

f.Upon resignation, layoff or discharge from the City service, except as otherwise provided in Rule 13; or

g.On any of the grounds set forth in Section 6.02 and 6.04 of these Rules; or

h.For failure of the eligible to continue to meet any of the employment standards established for the classification; or for failure to successfully pass any of the subsequent phases of the examination process, after the list is constituted.

Any person whose name is removed from an Employment List pursuant to Sections c, d, e, f, and g above, shall be notified by mail of the action taken and reasons therefor.

Any person whose name is removed from an Employment List shall have the right to request a review and reconsideration by the Human Resources Director (Ord 3385; 02/07) within five (5) working days after receiving notice of such removal. Requests for review shall be in writing and addressed to the Human Resources Director (Ord 3385; 02/07) and shall state briefly the basis upon which the request for review is made. The decision of the Human Resources Director (Ord 3385; 02/07) with respect to any review under this section, whether favorable or unfavorable to the applicant, shall be final.
