Sec. 4.55. Interpretation of Class Specifications.
 
   The class specifications are descriptive and explanatory and not restrictive. They are intended to indicate the kinds of positions that should be allocated to the various classes and shall not be construed as declaring to any extent or in any way what the duties and responsibilities of any position shall be, or as limiting or modifying the power of any appointing authority to assign duties to, and to direct and control the work of, employees under the appointing authority’s supervision, provided that no employee shall be regularly assigned to a class of position having duties and responsibilities which differ substantially as to kind, character and importance from those of the employee’s class. The use of a particular expression, or illustration as to duties shall not be held to exclude others not mentioned that are of similar kind or quality.
 
   In determining the class to which any position should be allocated, the specification of each class shall be considered in its entirety and in relation to others in the Classification Plan. Consideration shall be given to the general duties, specific tasks, responsibilities, qualifications desired, and relation to other classes.
 
   The statement of qualifications in the specification for any class, as interpreted herein, constitutes a guide for the establishment of minimum qualifications, if any, for examination purposes, for the tests to be included in the examinations for the class, and for the evaluation of the qualifications of applicants by the Board of Civil Service Commissioners.

   For purposes of internal administration or for any other purpose not involving personnel processes covered by Article X of the Charter, the standard code designation for each class of position as set out in Schedule “A may be used where in the judgment of the Board of Civil Service Commissioners and the Controller such action is necessary or desirable.
