25 NCAC 01I .1902. POSTING AND ANNOUNCEMENT OF VACANCIES

(a)  Vacant positions to be filled will be publicized by the agency having the vacancy to permit an open opportunity for all interested employees and applicants to apply.

(b)  Vacancies which will be filled from within the agency workforce will be prominently posted in an area known to employees, and will be described in an announcement which includes at minimum the title, salary range, key duties, knowledge and skill requirements, minimum training and experience standard, and contact person for each position to be filled.  An exception to this posting requirement will be permissible where a formal, pre‑existing "understudy" arrangement has been established by management.

(c)  Any vacancy for which an agency wishes to consider outside applicants or outside applicants concurrently with the internal workforce shall be listed with the local Job Service Office of the Employment Security Commission.  Listings will include the appropriate announcement information and vacancies so listed shall have an application period of not less than seven work days.

(d)  If an agency makes an effort to fill a vacancy from within, and is unsuccessful, the listing with the Employment Security Commission would take place when the decision is made to recruit outside.  A vacancy which an agency will not fill for any reason shall not be listed; if conditions change, it shall then be treated as a new vacancy.
