SEC. 18.110. PROVISIONAL APPOINTMENTS.
§ 18.110
Provisional employees appointed under the 1932 Charter whose appointments do not conform to the current Charter must be terminated within three years unless their appointments are renewed under Section 10.105, and they may qualify for civil service eligibility through special rules that can grant credit for their prior service.
If someone was hired provisionally (temporarily) under an old charter rule but doesn't meet the requirements of the new charter, they have up to three years to either get their appointment renewed or they will be laid off following normal layoff procedures. However, these provisional employees can try to become permanent civil service employees by taking civil service exams. The civil service rules can give them extra credit on those exams based on how long they've already worked—especially if they've been in the job for more than six months.
- Complex:The section references multiple other sections (Charter of 1932, Section 10.105, civil service rules) and uses dated operative-date language that makes it difficult to apply without understanding the full historical and regulatory context.
