A classification of all positions according to duties and responsibilities
shall be prepared by the Manager subject to approval of Council. Each
position shall be assigned to a job class on the basis of kind and
level of its duties and responsibilities to the end that all positions
in the same class shall be sufficiently alike to permit use of a singular
descriptive title, the same qualification requirement, the same test
for competence and the same pay scale.
In connection with the classification plan there shall be a related
compensation plan that will accurately reflect proven ability, degree
of skill demanded, length of service and any other meritorious and
equitable factors.
For the positions in the classification plan, there shall be job-related
minimum qualification requirements which state the nature and amount
of experience, training, knowledge and skills needed for successful
performance.
