Provisional appointments may be made in the absence of an eligible list with the consent of the Commission, but no such provisional appointment shall continue after the establishment of a suitable eligible list. Any provisional employee who does not take the examination when one is held for his classification, or who takes such examination and fails to place so as to be eligible for certification and appointment, shall be removed from the position within fifteen (15) work days after the promulgation of the eligible list covering such position, and within said time such position shall be filled by appointment from the newly established eligible list. A provisional employee has no preference in receiving a permanent appointment to the provisional classification once an eligibility list is established for the classification.
Whenever there are urgent reasons for filling a vacancy and the Commission is unable, upon requisition, to certify eligibles from a re-employment or eligible list, the Commission shall so notify the Appointing Authority, who may then nominate a person to fill the vacancy. The person so nominated shall make application on forms prescribed by the Commission and the Commission shall examine his qualifications. If qualified, the Commission shall so notify the Appointing Authority and thereupon the Appointing Authority may appoint his nominee on a provisional basis.
Notice of such appointment, with complete data for the official roster, shall be sent to the Commission by the Appointing Authority.
Such provisional appointment shall continue in force only until an appointment can be made from an eligible list which shall be prepared by the Commission in accordance with the provisions of Section 50.05. Provisional appointees shall not be appointed to permanent positions unless they are certified from the appropriate eligible list or serve as a provisional on a continuous basis for a period of two (2) years as provided in Section 60.15.
