The KCPOG has settled the Unfair Labor Practice Charge it filed against King County related to the cancellation of the June, 2007 test by the Human Resources Director.  The substantive terms of the settlement allow most employees who took either test to use their score for Sergeant eligibility.  If the employees took both tests, their best overall score will be used.  The specific language of the settlement is as follows:

King County and the Guild agree that if a candidate took the June 2007 sergeant's examination and the January 2008 sergeant's examination, the better of their two passing assessment center scores will be used to create a final eligibility list of sergeant's candidates (the "final eligibility list").  If a candidate took the June 2007 sergeant's examination and did not take the December 2007 written examination (and also did not proceed to the January 2008 assessment center), the candidate's passing assessment center score for the June 2007 sergeant's examination will be used for the final eligibility list. If the candidate took the June 2007 examination and took the December 2007 written examination but did not score  70 or above that candidate's name will not be placed on the final eligibility list.  If a candidate only took the January 2008 sergeant's examination but did not take the June 2007 sergeant's examination, the candidate's January 2008 passing assessment center score will be included in the final eligibility list.
