§ 1200-7. RULE 7: Recruitment of personnel.

A. 

Residency requirements. The Civil Service Department may require that a candidate for examination for any competitive class position in a municipality be a resident or an employee of the municipality. Residency requirements may be expanded by the County Personnel Officer, as provided under § 23, Subdivision 4-a, of the Civil Service Law.

Announcement of examinations. The public announcement of an examination must be conspicuously posted for a minimum of 15 days and must specify the title, application fee, salary, duties, minimum qualifications, last filing date, subjects of the examination, and type of tests (i.e., written, oral, performance, etc.).

C. 

Applications.

Applications for all examinations must be received by the Suffolk County Civil Service Department. Applications postmarked after 12:00 midnight of the last filing date may not be considered eligible for the announced examination.
