WSR 10-11-072

PERMANENT RULES

DEPARTMENT OF PERSONNEL


[ Filed May 14, 2010, 8:51 a.m. , effective July 1, 2010 ]


     Effective Date of Rule: July 1, 2010.

     Purpose: Due to the launch of a new on-line recruiting system, the department of personnel (DOP) staff conducted a review of the recruitment rules (chapter 357-16 WAC).

The new system will not have a central talent pool therefore we are proposing to remove the "central talent pool" language from WAC 357-16-025. WAC 357-16-100 currently says an applicant's exam results must be made available "within a reasonable time period." Under the new system the exams are not scored until after the applicant is processed. This could delay the applicant receiving their score. Therefore staff is proposing a repeal of WAC 357-16-100. Also under the new system there is not a way to remove a candidate from a list other than when they are appointed from the list. Staff is therefore proposing we change the rule to say the applicant's name "may be" removed rather than "is" removed.

     Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 357-16-100; and amending WAC 357-16-025 and 357-16-157.

     Statutory Authority for Adoption: Chapter 41.06 RCW.
