Programs providing priority placement consideration to individuals include:
There are other circumstances in which an employee may receive priority consideration for a vacancy, such as (1) a finding that an employee or candidate did not receive fair consideration for a job due to discrimination or (2) a finding that a candidate failed to receive proper consideration for a job due to administrative errors or errors in the rating process.
In addition, a manager may have a position in his/her organization which is "obligated"; this means that there is an employee who has a statutory restoration right to the position based upon active military service, a compensable injury, or completion of an overseas tour.
