626 Selection Decision

In making selection decisions, the appointing official follows the procedures specified in 62, Selection Procedures, paying particular attention to the provisions stated in 624, Applying the Rule of Three in Selection, and 625, Selection Sequence.

Selection decisions must be made allowing sufficient time for medical assessments and to meet scheduled reporting dates. Once a decision is reached, the appointing official must advise selectees that their appointments are contingent upon their being found medically suitable. Selectees must also be given the date, time, and location of the medical assessment. After the medical assessment has been administered and the results reviewed, the appointing official must notify selectees of their employment suitability. If possible, forward employment notifications to suitable selectees at least 2 weeks prior to scheduled reporting dates. This will allow sufficient time for selectees to notify their present employers, if applicable.
