The specifications of the classes of positions in the employee classification plan and their various parts shall be used as a guide in the classification of positions and have the following force and effect:
(a) The specifications are descriptive and not restrictive. They are intended to indicate the kinds of positions that are allocated to the several classes as determined by their duties and responsibilities and shall not be construed as declaring to any extent or in any way what the minimum or maximum duties or responsibilities of any position shall be or as limiting or in any way modifying the power of any appointing authority or administrative officer to assign, direct and control the work of employees under his/her supervision. The use of a particular expression or illustration shall not be held to exclude others not mentioned that are of a similar kind or quality.
(b) In determining the class to which any position should be allocated, the specifications of each class shall be considered as a whole. Consideration shall be given to the duties, specific tasks, responsibilities, qualification requirements and relationships to other classes as together affording a statement of the employment that the class is intended to embrace.
