The specifications of the classes of positions in the 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 supervision. The use of particular expression or illustration shall not be held to exclude others not mentioned that are of similar kind and quality;
(b) In determining the class to which any position should be allocated, the specification 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;
(c) Qualifications commonly required of all incumbents of the different classes, such as acceptable physical condition, freedom from disabling defects, United States citizenship, suitable age, honesty, sobriety and industry shall be deemed to be implied as qualification requirements for entrance to each class even though they may not be specifically mentioned in the specifications.
