Department of Personnel Administration

List Order

Hire employees from your certified list in this order, which is the order in which names should appear:

  • Reemployment
    • Subdivisional
    • Departmental
    • General
  • Surplus/SROA
  • Promotional
  • Open

Technically, appointments from surplus/SROA lists are transfers, not list appointments. Surplus/SROA employees take precedence over all promotional and open list appointments. (See Government Code Sections 19052 and 19054.)
