All departmental requests for additions to or
changes in the specifications involving either the classification
or compensation schedules, together with full reporting of maintenance
requests, shall be first presented to the Village Manager, who shall,
as he deems proper, forward the requests, together with his recommendations,
to the State Department of Civil Service for investigation and consideration.
No reclassifications, changes in compensation schedules or maintenance
allowances shall be effective until they have received the approval
of both the Village Manager and the State Department of Civil Service.
When new positions are to be created, there
shall be submitted by the department head through the Village Manager
to the State Department of Civil Service a statement of the duties,
qualification requirements and other matters affecting the proper
classification, title, grade and compensation and the necessity for
the creation of such position. No office or employment shall be considered
new unless the duties thereof are found to be substantially different
from those of every other existing position in the classified service
of the Village. When the State Department of Civil Service shall find
that an office or employment is in fact new or that the requested
changes affecting any existing position should be made, it shall so
classify such position under the appropriate service, grade and title,
and it shall become a part of the classification of the Village upon
approval by the Village Manager and the State Department of Civil
Service.
