In plain language

One finding, seven possible consequences, and they land at very different points in a career. A disqualification may produce rejection of the examination application, a refusal to test the person, a refusal to place the name on an eligible list, a refusal to certify the name, removal of the name from a list already promulgated, removal from employment, or other appropriate action. The last two are the ones with something guarding them. Removing an employee who is permanent or serving in a working test period runs through major disciplinary procedures, so the protections of a disciplinary case attach rather than falling away because the underlying finding was called a disqualification.
