§29-6-24. Posting of job openings.
Whenever a job opening occurs within the classified service,
the appointing authority shall, in addition to any other
requirement of law or regulation for the posting of job opening
notices, at least ten
working days before making an appointment to
fill the job opening, post a notice within the building or facility
where the duties of the job will be performed and throughout the
agency, which notice states that a job opening has occurred and describes the duties to be performed by a person employed in that
position.
If an individual selected for a posted vacancy refuses
the offer of employment, fails to report to work or, if after
reporting to work, resigns or otherwise separates from employment
within the first ten work days of employment, the appointing
authority is not required to repost the vacancy prior to an
appointment to the vacant position as long as the appointment is
made within thirty days of the most recent vacancy.
