Ala. Code § 45-58-231.30: Register of Persons Eligible and Available for Appointment; Reemployment of Certain Former Employees.

The board shall keep a register of all persons eligible and available for appointment to each class and position in the service of the county or of any municipality electing to come under this subpart, ranked according to ability; provided, however, that no examination shall be given and no register kept for positions designated by the board as common laborers. Employees laid off who are subsequently available for reemployment shall be placed at the head of the proper list for eligible registrants in the inverse order of their terminations. Employees who voluntarily terminate their services may be granted reemployment status only under such circumstances and in such manner as may be provided for in the board’s rules and regulations.
