(a)The Civil Service Department shall determine the eligible list most nearly appropriate for the position to be filled, and shall certify to the appointing authority a sufficient number of eligibles from which selection for appointment may be made. When the name of any eligible is included in a certification for appointment, the names of all other eligibles on the list having the same final rating as such eligible shall likewise be included in such certification.
(b)An eligible canvassed for or offered appointment in writing, who fails to state his or her willingness to accept such appointment within 10 business days after the mailing of such canvass or offer, or before the end of the second succeeding business day if such canvass or offer is made by telephone, may be considered ineligible for purposes of making a selection for that particular appointment.
(c)The name of any eligible who fails to reply to an offer of or canvass for appointment, or who fails to report for an interview, or who declines or indicates unwillingness to accept appointment, or who fails to report for work after accepting an offer of appointment, may be withheld from further certification from the eligible list. The name of such eligible may again be certified upon his own request, or upon the request of the appointing officer concerned, and the submission by such eligible of reasons satisfactory to the president for his declination or failure to reply or to accept appointment or to report for work.
