§ 36.90 COMMISSION TO RULE ON PROMOTIONAL EXAMINATIONS.
   Vacancies in positions above the lowest rank or grade of any category in the classified service shall be filled insofar as practical by the promotion of employees in the classified or unclassified service. The Commission shall, in each case, determine whether an open competitive fitness test shall be held, or a promotional examination held among employees whose previous experience would be natural preparation for the higher position. Promotions shall in every case involve a definite change in duties and an increase in responsibilities, and shall not be made merely for the purpose of effecting an increase in compensation.
