1. (a) The length of a job examination period for a LEAP-certified class shall be the same as the length of the probationary period of the parallel classification. For examination appointments to classifications in positions that have a full-time base, the length of the job examination period shall be based on monthly pay periods worked. For examination appointments to classifications in positions that have a part-time or intermittent time base, the length of the job examination period shall be based upon the following:

   1. (1) If the probationary period for the parallel classification is six months, the job examination period shall be 840 hours.
   2. (2) If the probationary period for the parallel classification is one year, the job examination period shall be 1680 hours.
   3. (3) Hours worked toward completion of the job examination period must be physically worked. Time off from work shall not be counted.
2. (b) Where the job examination period is for a classification in a position that has an intermittent time base and the parallel classification has a one year probationary period, the appointing power may allow the candidate to work during the job examination period in excess of the 1500-hour working limitation within 12 consecutive months where there is availability of work and funds.
3. (c) The duration of the job examination period shall only be shortened or extended as provided herein.
