(a)

Should there arise an urgent or pressing need for filling a vacancy in any position in the classified service and the secretary is unable to provide the appropriate appointing authority with the name of an applicant eligible for the vacancy, the appointing authority may provisionally appoint an individual to fill the vacancy. Such provisional appointment shall continue only until an appropriate eligible list can be established and submitted to the appointing authority, but in no event for more than 90 calendar days.

(b)

When, in the opinion of an appointing authority, there arises the urgent or pressing need for a new permanent position in his office or department not contemplated in the existing classification plan, he may provisionally appoint an individual to fill such position. Such provisional appointment shall continue only until the classification plan can be amended to include such position, if same is found to be necessary or desirable, and regular appointment can be made under the provisions of this article. Immediately following such provisional appointment, the necessity or desirability of inclusion of such position within the system shall be studied and determined. In no event shall such provisional appointment exceed 90 calendar days.
