by | ||||||

4 | from
such several offices and places to superior offices or | ||||||
5 | places in all cases
where, in the judgment of the Merit Board, | ||||||

positions directly tend to fit the | ||||||
7 | incumbent for a superior position.
| ||||||
8 | Employees promoted in the promotional line shall have their | ||||||
9 | seniority
for the highest position held on the basis of length | ||||||
10 | of service in that

12 | classification to that in the lower to determine
seniority in | ||||||

15 | classified
civil service under the University System is to be | ||||||
16 | filled, the Executive Director
shall certify to the employer, | ||||||
17 | in the order of their seniority, the names
and addresses of the | ||||||
18 | three persons with the 3 standing highest scores on upon the | ||||||
19 | promotional
register for the class or grade to which said | ||||||
20 | position belongs. The
employer shall appoint one of those the | ||||||
21 | three persons whose names were certified
by the Executive | ||||||
22 | Director. Sex shall be disregarded except when the nature of | ||||||
23 | the
position requires otherwise. Appointments to superior | ||||||
24 | positions in the
promotional line shall be on probation for a | ||||||
25 | period of no less than 6
months and no longer than 12 months | ||||||
26 | for each class of positions
in the classification plan, the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | length of the probationary period having
been determined by the | ||||||
2 | Executive Director. Persons
so appointed may be demoted at any | ||||||
3 | time during the period of probation , if,
in the opinion of the | ||||||
4 | employer, they have failed to demonstrate the ability
and the | ||||||
5 | qualifications necessary to furnish satisfactory service, but | ||||||
6 | shall
not be discharged from the superior position if they have | ||||||
7 | previously
completed a probationary period in an inferior | ||||||
8 | position in the promotional
line.
| ||||||
9 | Whenever a person is promoted to a superior position in the | ||||||
10 | promotional
line prior to the completion of the probationary | ||||||
11 | period in
any one of the positions in the classified civil | ||||||
12 | service under the
University System, total service in the | ||||||
13 | inferior position and in all such
