110.211(6) and 110.213(4), Florida Statutes, which require the Department
of Management Services to adopt rules pertaining to recruitment and
selection of employees in the Career Service.
The rule amendments identify current departmental and agency responsibilities
in the areas of recruitment and selection; identify situations for
which announcing job vacancies is unnecessary; shorten the time frame
for re-announcing positions; identify information to be included in
a job vacancy announcement; allow agencies to accept requests for
reassignment and promotion from employees in the Career Service; require
employing agencies to determine eligibility on all applicants at the
beginning of the selection process; incorporate by reference the guidelines
for determining eligibility; and identify acceptable selection techniques.

rule revision to Chapter 60K-4, Florida Administrative Code, Appointments,
Status, Transfers and Separations.

110.217(1)(a), Florida Statutes, which requires the Department of
Management Services to adopt uniform rules pertaining to appointments,
promotions, demotions, reassignments, separations and status of employees
in the Career Service. The rule amendments change the provisions for
original and promotional appointments from model rules to uniform
rules; streamline the types of status that is awarded to employees
upon appointment by renaming substitute status to overlap status incorporating
the provisions of 60L-7, Florida Administrative Code, merging the
provisions of emergency and temporary status into one; create the
provisions for reinstatement appointments; allow employees in Return
to Work Programs to be appointed with trainee status; and define separations
from Career Service and reference the Drug-Free Workplace Act rather
than the 1973 Department of Administration memorandum for handling
dismissals for drug and alcohol abuse. The rule amendments repeal
language regarding separations due to authorized holding or seeking
of public office which is covered in 60K-13, Florida Administrative
Code.
