Is a local government legally required to post or advertise job openings?

0

No. With the exception of certain county government positions covered by the State Personnel Act, North Carolina local government employers do not have to post or advertise any particular job opening unless a local ordinance requires them to do so. There are no federal or state laws governing employment advertising (other than the State Personnel Act – see below for local government coverage). A local government employer that never advertises externally, however, may unintentionally discriminate against members of an underrepresented group if their recruiting practices result in members of an underrepresented group never receiving notice of vacancies and having the opportunity to apply for open positions. Such a practice, although not intentionally discriminatory, could be a violation of Title VII (which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, gender, religion or national origin), the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, or the Americans with Disabilities Act.
