of policies and procedures which govern and affect personnel administration
for all administrative departments within the jurisdiction of the

explanation of personnel regulations which aid in assuring equitable
and fair treatment of applicants and employees in selection and promotion
and in the provision of benefits and compensation without regard to
political views, race, national origin, sex, religion, age or disability,
provided that the latter does not directly affect job performance.

adopted and incorporated herein, in its entirety, by reference, and
