Some years back, I wrote an article for Public Personnel Management on
this subject.  I will forward you a copy in a separate email.

Subject: [IPAC-List] Use of Application and/or Examination Fees

Our agency is exploring the idea of implementing an application fee
and/or a fee to participate in all or a portion of the examination
process (such as the performance test for skilled trades and police).
Are any of your agencies currently using a fee system?  If so, any
information as to amount of the fee, at which steps the fee is assessed
(upon application, for the written test, for each test, etc.), what to
do with questions of inability to pay, etc. would be very helpful.
 
Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.
