Exemptions
A hiring department can get exemptions from the surplus/SROA process. Exemptions can be by policy or special exemptions. Policy exemptions don't need DPA's approval. Special exemptions must be approved by DPA.

You don't need to ask DPA for policy exemptions. (See DPA Rule 599.854.4.)

Special Exemptions
DPA may grant special exemptions for extraordinary circumstances. You must request special exemptions in writing. DPA must approve them in advance. DPA does not grant blanket special exemptions. (See DPA Rule 599.854.4.)
- Limited-term appointments
- Transfer, voluntary demotions, or T&D assignments to different departments
