Clear Lists
The certified list may include reemployment, SROA, and other lists.
As you work through the names on a list, if you don't hire anyone from a list, you "clear" the list. You can then move on to the next one.
You must hire from the lists in a particular order. Certification rules govern how you treat names on each list.
Part-Time and Permanent Intermittent Employees
If you're hiring for a full-time position, part-time and permanent intermittent employees may not be eligible. They must be qualified for full-time work to apply. (See the Personnel Management Policy and Procedures Manual, Section 380.)
Hiring Non-Surplus/SROA Employees
Once you clear the SROA list, if no surplus employees express interest in the job, you can hire a non-surplus/SROA employee. You don't need approval from DPA.
