Torrance Municipal Code Art. 11 Applications

Any person shall be admitted to examination who has filed an application therefore, within the period prescribed in the public notices thereof and upon the form furnished by the Commission and whose application has not been debarred for cause in accordance with the provisions of these rules.

Applications shall not be accepted until an examination for the position sought has been announced, except in the case of persons employed in a temporary capacity pending examination and in accordance with the provisions of these Rules and Regulations. Applications may be filed unofficially prior to announcement of examinations. Applications shall be marked with date and time filed.

Whenever an application is rejected, notice of such rejection with reasons therefore shall be given to the applicant in writing. Persons whose applications have been rejected because they were incomplete or defective may call at the office designated for the receipt of applications in the bulletin announcing the examination and amend their applications provided an amendment is made before the day of examination.

No person in any manner concerned in receiving applications or in preparing, conducting or holding an examination shall apply for such examination.

No late applicant in any written test or an assembled examination shall be admitted after any applicant, having signified his intention to withdraw from the examination or having completed his work, has left the examination room.

When an applicant is unable to appear for an oral interview, or for any test in an examination (except written tests), at the time designated for him to appear, or at any time during the progress of the test or oral interview and it becomes evident to the Civil Service Commission that a good reason exists for such non-appearance, the Commission may direct that the oral interview or test be given the applicant at a time to be fixed by the examiner having charge of the examination.
