§ A367-16. Seasonal and trainee appointments.

A. 

Appointment to seasonal positions in competitive class.

(1) 

Positions in the competitive class where the nature of service is such that it is not continuous throughout the year, but recurs in each successive year, except as herein otherwise provided, shall be designated as seasonal positions and shall be subject to the provisions of these rules applicable generally to positions in such class.

(2) 

Upon the expiration of the employment season, the names of all persons employed in such seasonal positions shall be entered upon a seasonal reemployment list in the order of their first appointment to the title vacated by them at the expiration of such employment season. Such seasonal reemployment list shall be certified to the appointing authority at the commencement of or during the next employment season, and the persons whose names appear thereon as still qualified shall be entitled to reemployment in such positions in the order in which their names appear on such list. Any such person may be reexamined by the Commission with respect to his physical fitness for the performance of the duties of the position, and may be disqualified for reemployment in the same manner, and for any of the reasons applicable to the disqualification of an eligible on an eligible list resulting from open-competitive examination.

(3) 

The name of any person on such list who is not reached for reemployment shall remain on such list and shall be certified, in the order of the date of his first appointment to such position during subsequent seasons; provided, however, that the eligibility for reemployment of any such person shall not continue for a period longer than three years from the date of his separation from such seasonal employment. A seasonal reemployment list shall not be deemed to be a preferred list as provided for in § 81 of the Civil Service Law.

B. 

Trainee positions and appointments.

[Amended 12-27-1978]

(1) 

The period of traineeship for designated positions shall be for one year after the date of original appointment, except that the minimum probationary period of 12 weeks must be satisfied before any trainee position shall mature into a permanent appointment to the regular position.

(2) 

The Civil Service Commission may require that permanent appointments or promotions to designated positions shall be conditioned upon the satisfactory completion of a term of service as a trainee in such a position or in an appropriate lower training title or the completion of specified training or academic course, or both. The period of such term of training service shall be prescribed by the Commission. Upon the satisfactory completion of such training term and of specified courses, if required, an appointee shall be entitled to full permanent status in the position for which appointment was made. Any appointment hereunder shall be subject to such probationary period as is prescribed in these rules. Also, the employment of such person may be discontinued if his conduct, capacity or fitness is not satisfactory or at any time if he fails to pursue or continue satisfactorily such training or academic courses as may be required.
