18-389 C.M.R. ch. 6, § 10 - EXAMINATIONS FOR RETURNING SERVICEMEN

A. Whenever a promotional examination for a class shall have been given during the absence on MILITARY LEAVE of a permanent employee eligible to take such examination, such employee shall have the right to take a promotional examination for such class, provided application therefor is made to the Director of Human Resources within 60 days from the date of the reinstatement of the employee. The employee shall be given the same examination as given at the original promotional examination or the equivalent thereof. If the employee attains a final rating above passing, his/her name shall be placed upon the original promotional register made from the original promotional examination in the same manner as if he/she had taken the original promotional examination, provided such register has not expired. If the employee attains a final rating which is equal to or higher than that of the lowest ranking person certified to an appointing authority from the original promotional register, the name of the employee shall be certified to the appointing authority who may appoint him/her to a position which has been already filled by a person appointed from the original promotional register or from the original promotional register modified as above provided. An employee so displaced shall have his/her name placed upon the appropriate reemployment register, and shall be restored to the position which he/she held when promoted.

B. Whenever, during the absence in military service of a person who was a provisional employee at the time of entrance into military service, an examination was held for the class in which he/she was employed, such person, if qualified, shall have the right to take an examination for the same class of position, provided application therefor is made to the Director of Human Resources within 90 days from the date of his/her honorable discharge or other form of release by proper authority indicating that his/her military or naval service was satisfactory; and provided further that the eligible register established by an examination given during his/her absence is still in effect. The employee shall be given the same examination as given at the original examination or the equivalent thereof. If the employee attains a final rating above passing, his/her name shall be placed upon the original register made from the original examination in the same manner as if he/she had taken the original examination.
