6 <br /> <br />City of Little Canada Personnel Policy <br />SECTION 5 - HIRING <br /> <br />Applications for Employment and Publication of Notice <br /> <br />Applications for employment shall be filed with the office of the City Clerk/HR Manager for all <br />regular full-time and regular part-time employee job vacancies. <br /> <br />Regular Full-Time and Regular Part-Time Positions - Notice of all such vacancies shall be posted at <br />City Hall for ten (10) days and shall be published on the City’s website at least ten (10) days prior to <br />filling the vacancy. Existing employees will be eligible to apply. It is the intent of the City to hire the <br />best-qualified employee, taking into account experience, qualifications, and references. <br /> <br />Seasonal Employees - Persons with previous seasonal temporary work experience with the City and <br />whose work performance was acceptable will be asked to return to their positions. Openings of 20 <br />hours or more not filled by this practice will be advertised on an annual or seasonal basis. Openings of <br />less than 20 hours per week may be filled at the discretion of the supervisor. <br /> <br />Short-Term Temporary (Full-Time and Part-Time) - In cases involving short-term placement of <br />personnel, advertising is not required. In this case, the position may be filled based on the availability <br />of qualified personnel. A decision not to advertise will encompass considerations involving timing <br />needs in filling the position and the cost of advertisement and screening in relation to the duration of <br />the employment period. <br /> <br />The City Administrator shall establish and maintain a position classification plan for all regular full- <br />time and regular part-time positions. When a new position is created for which no appropriate position <br />classification exists, or when the duties of an existing position are sufficiently changed so that no <br />appropriate class exists, the City Administrator shall create a new class and cause an appropriate <br />position classification to be written for said class. All position classifications are subject to review and <br />approval by the City Council. <br /> <br />Appointments <br /> <br />In case of appointment to regular full-time and regular part-time employee positions, the City Council <br />may appoint any person who meets the requirements listed in the position classification, whom the <br />City Council deems qualified to perform the duties of the position and who has successfully completed <br />a physical examination, if required. Exempt employees may make such appointments in the case of <br />temporary employees, subject to review of such action by the City Council. <br /> <br />No person shall henceforth be appointed to a position that would require direct supervision of such <br />person's relative. A person shall be deemed to be a relative if such relationship is a brother, sister, <br />spouse, lineal ancestor, lineal descendant, uncle, aunt, nephew, niece, first cousin, father-in-law, <br />mother-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, or related by marriage <br />through the relationship of a first cousin. <br /> <br />Physical Examination <br /> <br />Newly hired employees may be required to undergo a physical examination as well as drug testing, at <br />the City's expense, to determine if he/she is able to perform the duties of his/her position in an effective <br />and safe manner and whether or not accommodations need to be made for the employee. A <br />psychological evaluation may be required for exempt employee positions.
