CIVIL SERVICE TESTING
This notice is to inform all prospective City of Cleveland employees of the Civil Service
testing requirement.
CIVIL SERVICE TESTING
If you have been hired by the City of Cleveland from a Civil Service list, your position
status is “regular.” If not, your status is “temporary” and you are subject to testing
through the Civil Service Commission. The Commission conducts examinations to
determine your qualifications for the position for which you have been hired. If you do
not pass the test or score sufficiently high enough to be appointed “regular,” your
employment with the City of Cleveland may be terminated.
By signing below, I acknowledge the implications Civil Service testing may have on my
future employment with the City of Cleveland.
