Veteran’s Preference

Veteran’s Preference for Jobs with Hutchinson Utilities Commission

Hutchinson Utilities Commission awards preference to qualified veterans and spouses of deceased or disabled veterans, as required by the provisions of applicable Minnesota statutes.

Veteran’s Preference Statutes provide a preference to U.S. citizens or resident aliens who meet the minimum requirements for a position and/or who have attained a passing score on the entrance exam and have received an Honorable Discharge or Separation after serving more than 180 consecutive days in the military for purposes other than training. Veteran’s preference may be used by the surviving spouse of a deceased veteran and by the spouse of a disabled veteran who, because of the disability, is unable to qualify.
