INTRODUCTION

This booklet contains a listing and a brief description of most kinds of jobs in the state classified service.  Its purpose is to help you apply for jobs in which you are interested and for which you are qualified.

THE MERIT SYSTEM

Jobs in the State Classified Service are filled under a merit system which is based on competitive selection, following the principle that positions are filled on an equal opportunity basis.

Permanent jobs with the State are filled by appointment from eligible lists made up of people who have successfully passed an examination, or have met the minimum requirements for a training and experience evaluation.  Each examination is based on the kind of experience, training, and knowledge needed for the particular kind of job.

There are at this time over 1400 classifications in the state service, but only about 400 are listed in this booklet.  We have omitted those for which there are so few positions that applications are seldom needed; and, for the most part, we have listed only the beginning level classes of the others.  In other words when a "I" level position is listed, you will know there are higher classes in the series which require more education and training (some of which may be given on a promotional basis).  In some cases, when a “II" or "III" level position is listed, there are higher classes in the series.

APPLICATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED AND APPOINTMENTS MADE ON AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY, MERIT BASIS, WITHOUT REGARD TO SEX, RACE, AGE, RELIGION, DISABILITY, COLOR, OR NATIONAL ORIGIN.

TYPES OF ANNOUNCEMENTS

Examinations are open on a continuous basis for many job classifications.  This means that a person can make application at any time.  Because vacancies in these job classes occur at irregular intervals throughout the year, applications are accepted at all times to ensure that an up-to-date employment register is maintained.

Some jobs are direct appointment classifications.  For these jobs no examination is given and no employment register is created.  Applicants should make applications directly to the State agency of interest.

Other announcements, called current announcements, are published periodically and usually remain open for the receipt of applications for a period of two and one-half weeks.  These announcements are distinguished from continuous announcements by the limited time period during which applications can be filed.  In order to be considered for these positions, it is necessary that candidates' applications be received by the closing date shown on the announcement notice.

POLICY ON ACCEPTING COLLEGE COURSEWORK, POST-SECONDARY AND ADVANCED DEGREES

1.  Specific college coursework required for a job, as well as Bachelor’s, graduate, post graduate, and doctoral degrees will be accepted from the schools accredited by any of the six regional accreditation associations in the United States.  These associations are listed below.

·                     Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS)

·                     Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools (MSA)

·                     Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU)

·                     North Central Association of Colleges and Schools – The  Higher Learning Commission (NCA-HLC)

·                     New England Association of Schools and Colleges – Commission on Institutions of Higher Education (NEASC-CIHE)

·                     Western Association of Schools and Colleges – Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges and Universities (WASC-ACSCU)

2.  Coursework or degrees from schools that have not been accredited by a regional accreditation association will be accepted if a regionally accredited school considers the coursework or degree to be an acceptable prerequisite for admission to an advanced degree program.  For example, if a regionally accredited school accepts an applicant’s bachelor’s degree for admittance into a graduate degree program, State Personnel will accept the degree.  In the case of required college coursework (but no degree requirement), State Personnel will accept the college coursework if a regionally accredited school accepts the coursework towards a post-secondary degree (e.g., a bachelor’s degree).  This must be documented by a letter of acceptance from the regionally accredited school.   State Personnel will review such requests on a case-by-case basis.

Note:  This policy is subject to change.  Certain state agencies may have additional requirements.

SECURITY POLICY

Except for pretest information provided by State Personnel to all applicants, you should not directly or indirectly obtain information about examinations.  If you do, the State Personnel Director may do several things.  One, you may not be given an examination.  Two, you may be disqualified after an examination.  Three, your name may be removed from a register.  Or four, your name may not be certified from the register.  (Rules of the State Personnel Board, Chapter 670-x-9.)  According to the Code of Alabama, 36-26-47, a willful violation of exam security is a misdemeanor.  Any person who is convicted of this type of misdemeanor will not get a State job for a period of five years.  If they are officers or employees of the State, they will be required to forfeit their office or position for five years.

If you know of anyone who has violated this policy, you should contact the Examination Manager at the State Personnel Department.

HOW APPOINTMENTS ARE MADE

Appointments to vacant positions are made by various State operating agencies from among the top ten ranking applicants whose names are furnished to that agency by the Personnel Department.  The names of those applicants not selected remain on the employment register for consideration for future vacancies that may occur.  For direct appointment jobs no employment register is established and no list of names is provided to State agencies.  Applicants must make applications directly to the employing agency.  Appointments are ordinarily made at the minimum of the salary range for the job classification.

PAY PLAN

Each job is assigned to one of 190 pay ranges in the State Pay Plan.  For example, Account Clerk has been assigned pay range 57 which is $24,595-$36,489.  Under each job description in this booklet, the assigned pay range at the time of printing has been listed.  Section 10 has a salary schedule for all merit system job classifications.  This schedule should be used only as a guide because pay ranges for some job classifications are occasionally updated to be competitive with the job market.

HOW TO USE EMPLOYMENT GUIDE

Read this booklet carefully and decide which jobs you are interested in and may be qualified to fill.  The qualifications written in this book are general statements that are subject to change when new job studies are done.  These statements help you understand the type of education and/or experience background you should possess; however, the qualification statements on the job announcement will be more exact and will be used to determine if an applicant is eligible for examination.  You may select as many jobs as you wish.  After you have made your selections, fill out a "Job Opening Notification Request" form and write in the code numbers and options, if listed.  When indicating code numbers of job classes with options, please enter the class code as many times as you indicate a different option. For example, if you enter on the first line 30201/123, and on the second line 30201/201, your name will be placed on the notification list for Vocational Instructor (Business and Office Education option) and Vocational Instructor (Computer Science Training option).  When you complete the "Job Opening Notification Request" form, mail it to:

STATE PERSONNEL DEPARTMENT

64 NORTH UNION STREET

P O BOX 304100

MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA 36130-4100

If the examinations you have selected are open for application, you can expect to receive an e-mail notification immediately.  If the examinations are not open, your name will be placed on a notification list and you will be informed when those jobs open for application.  If you do not have an e-mail address, you can visit our website at www.personnel.state.al.us to view all of the continuous and current open job announcements.  Since there are no registers for “direct appointment” jobs, you should not indicate these jobs on the “Job Opening Notification Request” form.  Inquiries about “direct appointment” jobs should be made to the employing State agencies.
