2005 California Government Code Sections 19242-19243.4 Article 2. Examinations and Appointments

19242.  The board or its designee shall conduct competitive
examinations to determine the qualifications and readiness of persons
with disabilities for state employment.  The examinations may
include an on the-job-performance evaluation and any other selection
techniques deemed appropriate by the board. Examination results may
be ranked or unranked.
19242.1.  An appointment to a position for the purpose of completing
a job performance evaluation shall be known as an examination
appointment.
19242.2.  The board or its designee shall refer the names of persons
with disabilities who meet eligibility criteria for participation
and the minimum qualifications of the job classification and any
other requirements deemed appropriate by the board to appointing
powers for examination appointments.  Notwithstanding any other
provision of law, and to provide for appropriate job-person
placement, all candidates meeting referral requirements shall be
eligible for examination appointment.  The board shall prescribe by
rule the method for referring names to appointing powers.
19242.4.  All examination appointments to positions under the
Limited Examination and Appointment Program shall be made on a
temporary and provisional basis to allow candidates to demonstrate
their ability to perform the duties of the position.  The term of the
appointment shall be known as the job examination period and its
duration shall be determined by board rule.
19242.6.  Candidates serving in positions under the Limited
Examination and Appointment Program shall not acquire permanent civil
service status but shall receive the same salary and benefits to
which other state employees in temporary positions are entitled.
19242.8.  The board or its designee shall develop evaluation
standards which are appropriate tests of fitness for the job
classification.  During the job examination period, the appointing
power shall prepare written evaluations of the candidate's
performance in accordance with  board rule.  The final evaluation
shall contain a recommendation as to whether or not to appoint the
candidate  to an appropriate position where civil service status may
accumulate.
19242.9.  Upon failure of the appointing power to terminate the
appointment of the candidate within 30 days following the end of the
job examination period, it shall be presumed that the candidate has
qualified in the examination.
19243.  Upon successful completion of the job examination period,
the candidate shall have qualified in the examination.  With the
approval of the board, the  appointing power may appoint the
candidate, without further examination, to an appropriate position
where civil service status may accumulate.

shorten or extend the duration of the job examination period.

period, the appointing power may terminate the appointment of the
