133.06 CERTIFICATION.

   (a)   Certification from Eligible List. Upon receipt of an eligible list for a classification, the Civil Service Commission shall certify to the Director of Administration the names of the three persons standing highest on the eligible list. When more than one vacancy is to be filled in a classification, the Commission shall certify the number of names equal to the number of vacancies to be filled and three more in addition thereto; provide, however, that a few number may be certified when there is not the required number on the eligible list. No person shall be certified from a promotional eligible list while permanently separated from employment by the City.

   (b)   Placement of Lay-Offs on Eligible List. When any regular appointee is laid off, the name of such person shall be placed at the top of the eligible list for the classification from which the employee is laid off. If there is no existing list at the time, the name of such person shall constitute one. When two or more person have been laid off, whether at the same time or not, their names shall be placed at the top of such eligible list in the order of their appointment in the classification held by them when laid off. Such persons shall be eligible for certification and reappointment for a period of two years thereafter.

   (c)   Waiver of Certification. An eligible may waive certification by notification to the Director. A waiver of certification shall remain in effect until withdrawn, at which time the eligible is reinstated to the position originally held on the eligible list. A waiver may not exceed six months and may not be used more than two times. After two waivers, or after six months have passed on a waiver, the eligible name shall be removed from the eligible list. Whenever one or more of the eligible who have been certified waive certification or fail to respond to notice of certification, the Commission shall supplement the certification from the eligible list by an equal number of additional names.

   (d)   Objection. If the Director objects to the certification of any eligible, the specific reasons for the objection shall be given in writing to the Commission. Any cause contained in Section 133.03 (c) shall be deemed sufficient reason for objection, but the Commission may approve objection for other causes. The person against whom objection is made may be granted a hearing by the Commission, at which time the Director may present the objection. If the objection is sustained by the Commission, the next highest name on the eligible list shall be certified.
