§ 5.8. Examination for persons 60 years of age or older.
Under the Civil Service Act (71 P. S. § § 741.1—741.1005) the Civil Service Commission will administer civil service examinations for the Department and participating area agencies on aging. The Department will work with the Civil Service Commission in order to assure that qualified applicants 60 years of age or older are tested in quarters which provide a suitable and convenient environment; that testing conditions will allow persons 60 years of age or older to perform to the best of their ability; and that an applicant’s final earned rating is weighted in such a manner as to reflect the applicant’s experience, where the experience is a valid requisite for a particular position. Area agencies on aging which become aware of older persons who have problems or concern in this regard should contact the Department’s Division of Personnel. The Division of Personnel will work with the Civil Service Commission to address these problems and concerns.
