If a position at any time is reallocated to a different class to correct an error in the original allocation, the incumbent shall continue in the position without tests or other proofs of fitness. If a position is reallocated to another class on account of changed duties and responsibilities, the incumbent may, upon written recommendation of the department head, the passing of a non-competitive examination given by the Director and approval of the Commission, continue in the position. This shall not apply if an employee is actually transferred to another position involving substantially different or higher qualifications, but only in those cases where new duties and responsibilities have been added or absorbed by the incumbent in addition to his or her regularly assigned work.
(1998 Code, § 90-128)
