Section 1 CSR 20-3.010 - ExaminationsPURPOSE: This amendment revises this rule pursuant to changes to Chapter 36, RSMo made by Senate Bill 1007 (2018).
(1) Verification of Qualifications. In any competitive examination, the director, appointing authorities, or both, may verify statements contained in the application of an applicant either before or after employment. If a verification of the qualifications of an applicant should reveal any material misrepresentation of employment qualifications and related information as described in the application for examination or attachments, this shall be cause for removal from the register(s) involved, from current and future employment, or both, as provided elsewhere in these rules.(2) Veterans' Preference. In any competitive examination for the purpose of establishing a register of eligibles, veterans, disabled veterans, surviving spouses, and spouses of disabled veterans shall be given preference in appointment and examination as provided by law. (A) Proof of Eligibility. Proof of eligibility for veterans' preference shall be provided by applicants in the form of their discharge papers, a copy of their discharge papers, or other satisfactory evidence of honorable service. Applicants also shall submit on a form, as may be required by the director, proof of disability certified by the appropriate federal agency responsible for the administration of veterans' affairs. Any papers submitted to establish proof of service of disability, upon request, shall be returned to veterans.(3) Parental Preference. In any competitive examination for the purpose of establishing a register of eligibles, a parental preference shall be given to persons who were previously employed by the state but terminated such employment to care for young children. This preference shall be given only for persons who were full-time homemakers and caretakers of children under the age of ten (10) and were not otherwise gainfully employed for a period of at least two (2) years. (A) Proof of Eligibility. Proof of eligibility for parental preference shall be provided by applicants on a preference claim form and, upon request, other evidence such as birth certificates, income tax returns, or other documents may be required by the director.(4) Error in Examination. A manifest error in an examination which affects the appointment of persons shall be corrected if called to the attention of the director within thirty (30) days after the establishment of the register, but this correction shall not invalidate any appointments previously made from this register unless it is established that the error was made in bad faith and with intent to deprive the person of consideration.
