What characterizes a regular appointment?

A regular appointment is characterized by being a permanent position that is filled by candidates from an eligible list, typically reflecting a competitive process. This type of appointment often requires the employee to work half time or more, thereby establishing a stable and ongoing employment status within the organization.

In many utility administration environments, such as the LADWP, regular appointments carry specific benefits and job security that are essential for maintaining a dedicated workforce. They are distinguished from temporary or reserve positions, which may not provide the same level of job permanence or require the same qualifications.

While there are variations in appointment types, the fundamental aspect of a regular appointment is its nature as a permanent role, which supports long-term employment goals and helps in maintaining continuity in the workforce.
