Civil Service Examinations Act Article 6

Examinations for civil service personnel are divided into Elementary, Junior and Senior levels, among which Senior Examinations are again divided into three levels by academic achievements. Successful candidates must remain at their allocated organization or school for three years of service before they may apply for transfer. In order to meet staffing needs of institutions of a special nature, as well as to provide for the employment rights of indigenous peoples and the disabled, Special Examinations are held at grades 1 through 5 in accordance with the above said levels and grades. Except where this Act stipulates otherwise, persons qualifying under Special Examinations are not permitted to transfer outside the originally allocated agencies for a period of six years. Regulations regarding this six year restriction vary by the nature and scope of the examining organization and are stipulated in the respective examination regulations. Persons qualifying under the above paragraph 2 or Article 24 and who are transferred to other agencies due to organizational restructuring, down-sizing, merger, changes in the chain of command or system, dissolving of the organization, or adjustments of duty are not bound by the above transfer restrictions. However, re-transfers within the time limit are restricted to the original organization, the transfer organization and sub-organizations thereof.
