§ 741.606. Emergency appointments

Any appointing authority or any subordinate authorized by him may, to prevent serious impairment of the public business when an emergency arises and time will not permit securing the authorization from the director for the appointment of a certified eligible, appoint any qualified person during the emergency for a period not exceeding thirty days and may with the approval of the commission be extended for a further period not to exceed thirty days. The existence of a vacancy of which the appointing authority has had reasonable notice or of employment conditions of which the appointing authority had previous knowledge shall not be considered an emergency. Persons thus appointed shall be known as emergency employes. Appointing authorities shall forthwith report to the director all emergency appointments, and such appointments shall not be renewed.
