Orono
uses veterans' preference in the hiring process. The Minnesota Supreme
Court has ruled that all cities hiring for a position must award extra
points to veterans, whether or not the city uses a civil service system.
This decision means cities must use some type of grading system compatible
with the state veterans' preference law. That law requires a
five-point preference (10 points if the veteran is disabled) on a 100-point
scale. Additionally, the surviving spouses of deceased veterans are
entitled to receive the same points that their spouses would have received
if they were alive to apply.
¡ LCM, "Handbook for Minnesota Cities," Veterans'
preference in hiring, p. 229.
Note: Resumes will be kept on file
for one year and reviewed upon future job openings.
