Practice question
A routine temporary appointment is proposed under the ordinary rule requiring absence of a fully qualified applicant. Such an applicant is actually available, and no Top 10, medical-residency, special-law or other exception applies. Officials say choosing the word temporary alone satisfies that condition. Which is best?
- The stated absence condition is not met by a label when a qualified applicant is available.
- The label automatically makes the qualified applicant disappear.
- Every temporary appointment is exempt from all rules.
- The appointee may personally amend the CSC resolution.
- A staffing preference automatically overrides the prescribed condition.
