§ 11.22. Promotional examination grades.

(a)

The grading of each promotional examination shall begin when one eligible promotional candidate completes the examination. As the eligible promotional candidates finish the examination, the examinations shall be graded at the examination location.

(b)

Each Sworn Employee is entitled to receive one point for each full year of seniority as a Sworn Employee in the affected department, with a maximum of 10 points. A Sworn Employee will only receive seniority points based upon the Sworn Employee's most recent and continuous service with the City.

(c)

Reserved.

(d)

Each candidate's grade on the written examination(s) is based on a maximum grade of 100 points and is determined entirely by the correctness of the candidate's answers to the questions. All candidates who score a total of at least 70 points on the test(s) shall be determined to have passed the examination. Seniority points will be added to all candidates that pass the test. If no candidates score at least 70 points after question challenges are resolved, the test shall be declared invalid and another test scheduled and opened to the next level of eligible Sworn Employees.

(e)

Unless a different procedure is adopted under an alternate promotional system, the grade that must be placed on the eligibility list for each promotional candidate shall be computed by adding the candidate's points for seniority to the candidate's grade on the written examination. Ties will be broken by a predetermined method approved by the Commission.
