The Commission recognizes the following exceptional situations in which it may authorize the promotion without competition of an eligible employee.
(A) If a vacancy exists in a classification requiring peculiar and exceptional qualifications of a scientific, managerial, professional, or education character, and the appointing authority established in writing to the satisfaction of the Commission that only one subordinate employee of the department has such qualifications, promotion may be approved under the appropriate section of the Ohio Revised Code.
(B) If a position has been established with advance approval of the Commission, for the purpose of training an employee for promotion to a higher position, and the selection of the incumbent of the training position has been made with due regard for the requirements of the higher position, the Commission may, on recommendation of the appointing authority, approve such promotion without examination upon completion of suitable training. These advance requests will not be considered favorably unless an examination has been held in an effort to fill the position at the proper classification, and unless the training position is the only one of its classification in the department.
