Section 839-006-0460 - Appointment to a Position
(1) A public employer will appoint an otherwise qualified veteran or disabled veteran to a vacant civil service position if the results of a veteran's or disabled veteran's application examination, when combined with the veteran's or disabled veteran's preference, are equal to or higher than the results of an application examination for an applicant who is not a veteran or disabled veteran.
(2) Preferences of the type described in OAR 839-006-0450 and 839-006-0455 are not a requirement that a public employer appoint a veteran or disabled veteran to a civil service position.
(3) A public employer may base a decision not to appoint the veteran or disabled veteran solely on the veteran's or disabled veteran's merits or qualifications with respect to the vacant civil service position.
(4) If a public employer does not appoint a veteran or disabled veteran to a vacant civil service position, upon written request of the veteran or disabled veteran, the public employer, will provide the public employer's reasons for the decision not to appoint the veteran or disabled veteran to the position.
