Section 21. Promotion <br /> <br /> Promotional or open-promotional examinations may be <br /> conducted whenever in the opinion of the Personnel <br /> Officer the needs of the service require. Only <br /> employees who meet the requirements set forth in the <br /> examination announcements may compete in promotional <br /> examinations. <br /> <br /> Insofar as consistent with the best interests of the <br /> service all vacancies in the competitive service shall <br /> be filled by promotion from within the competitive <br /> service after a promotional examination has been given <br /> and a promotional list established. <br /> <br /> When the needs of the service so require, an employee <br /> meeting the minimum qualifications may be temporarily <br /> promoted to an authorized position on an "acting" basis. <br /> While serving in the position the employee temporarily <br /> promoted shall be paid the minimum rate of pay for the <br /> classification except that said rate of pay shall be no <br /> less than 5% above the employee's normal rate of pay. <br /> <br /> Nothing in this section, however, shall restrict a <br /> department head from requiring an employee possessing <br /> the minimum qualifications to serve in a higher <br /> classification without an adjustment in compensation for <br /> a period not to exceed five (5) consecutive working <br /> days. <br /> <br /> If, in the opinion of the Personnel Officer, a vacancy <br /> in the position could be filled better by an <br /> open-competitive examination instead of promotional <br /> examination, he/she shall arrange an open-competitive <br /> employee list consistent with the Personnel Rules. <br /> <br />Section 22. Transfer <br /> <br /> An employee may be transferred by the Appointing <br /> Authority to a comparable position. For purposes of <br /> this section a comparable position is one with the same <br /> maximum salary, involving the performance of similar <br /> duties and requiring substantially the same minimum <br /> qualifications. <br /> <br /> If the transfer involves a change from one department to <br /> another both department heads must consent thereto <br /> unless the City Manager orders the transfer for purposes <br /> of economy and efficiency. Transfer shall not be used <br /> to effect discipline or a promotion or advancement. <br /> <br /> -29- <br /> <br /> <br />
