Special Requirements

• The position(s) require(s) Medical Clearance prior to being hired.

Maintains the Arduous Fitness Standard in accordance with Department policy prior to hire. The incumbent is required to wear respiratory protection equipment, including self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). As such CAL/OSHA requires the incumbent to be annually medically cleared to be fit-tested for respiratory protection equipment.

TAU applicants are encouraged to apply.

What is TAU? TAU appointments to this classification are made under temporary authorization regardless of eligibility. In accordance with the California State Constitution, no person may serve in one or more positions under a temporary appointment longer than 9 months in 12 consecutive months. Therefore, all time served in temporary appointments (for example, CAL FIRE's Firefighter I) during the 12 consecutive month period will count towards this 9 month maximum. An employee gains no status or rights as a result of the TAU appointment and an employee who has had only a TAU appointment has no reinstatement eligibility. Persons who do not possess the minimum qualifications for the classification are ineligible for appointment as a TAU. Temporary Appointments will require eligibility to be obtained through an examination process in order to transition to a permanent appointment.

If you are offered and accept a TAU appointment, you will be required to take the next exam administered for this classification. If you do not apply to take the exam, score too low to be in a reachable rank, OR if you fail the test, your TAU appointment will be terminated immediately once exam results are released.
