(A) Designation of unskilled classifications and positions. Classifications and positions within classifications designated to be unskilled shall not be subject to competitive examination. The unskilled service shall include classifications and positions within classifications for which it would not be practical to determine the merit and fitness of applicants by competitive examinations. The unskilled labor class includes classifications for which there are minimal or no education or experience requirements.
(B) Appointments in the unskilled service.
(1) Certified appointments to positions in the unskilled service shall be from lists of applicants registered by the Commission. All applicants shall be required to complete an application which shall be evaluated to determine the qualifications of applicants.
(2) Applicants for the unskilled service may be required to demonstrate physical condition or capacity, experience, skills, previous employment, education, or other qualifications as may be required by the classification or position. Examinations may be administered to determine the qualifications of applicants. All applicants who fulfill the requirements of the position shall be placed on the eligible list for the kind of labor or employment sought, and preference shall be given in employment in accordance with the rating received from such evidence or in such test.
(3) If more than one applicant receives the same rating, priority in time of application shall determine the order in which their names shall be certified for appointment.
(4) Upon request of an appointing authority, stating the kind of labor needed, the pay and probable length of employment, and the number to be employed, the Commission shall certify from the highest on the list double the number to be employed. From this number, the appointing authority shall appoint the number actually needed for the particular work.
(C) Promotional appointments in the unskilled service. Appointments to positions above the entry level in the unskilled service shall be made in conformance with the provisions of this chapter.
