All offices and positions in the service of the City of Toledo, not specifically excepted by Section 171-(1) of the Charter or otherwise included by subsequent ordinances passed thereunder, shall constitute the classified service of the City of Toledo. All such positions shall be designated by ordinance of Council and the title so given shall be used in all records.
A classification plan for the employees in the classified service of the City of Toledo and Board of Health shall be adopted and maintained by the Commission. The plan shall provide for the standardization and classification of all positions in the classified service. All of the positions in the classified service shall be so grouped and arranged that each class shall consist of those positions so similar in respect to the duties, responsibilities and authority that the same descriptive title may be used to designate each position allocated to the class, that the same requirements as to education, experience, capacity, knowledge, proficiency, ability and other qualifications should be required of the incumbents, that the same tests of fitness may be used to choose qualified eligibles and that the same schedule of compensation may be made to apply with equity.
No person shall be employed or regularly assigned under any title not appropriate to the duties to be performed. In positions encompassing several duties of comparable levels of difficulty and requiring similar qualifications, the appropriate title will reflect the preponderant duties. In positions encompassing related duties of substantially varying levels of difficulty, the appropriate titling shall reflect the most difficult duties required if such duties are performed to a substantial degree.
The cooperation of each department head and division head is essential for maintaining the integrity of the classification plan by limiting employees to the performance of duties appropriate to their class, or notifying the Commission upon the assignment of inappropriate duties.
It shall be the duty of the Commission to study new positions or existing positions in which there is doubt as to the appropriate titling. The Commission shall amend as necessary the official classification to reflect the results of such studies. New descriptions and/ or specifications are subject to approval of the Commission.
The Commission shall review continually the appropriateness of the class titles assigned to each position in the classified service, and shall determine whether employees assigned to the unclassified service are filling positions which are or should be in the classified service, or whether employees in one class are performing duties regularly assigned to positions in other classes.
Incumbents holding permanent status in a position reclassified to a higher or different class, as approved by the Civil Service Commission, shall be automatically certified by the Commission to the reclassified position effective from the date of approval by the Civil Service Commission provided, however, that the incumbent has been performing the duties of the reclassified position for a period of twelve (12) consecutive months immediately preceding the date the reclassification is approved by the Civil Service Commission; and two, that the incumbent meets the basic requirements of the reclassified position.
In such action as described above, the Civil Service Commission shall require documentation from the immediate supervisor of the incumbent and/or that of the head of the division, agency or commission in which the position exists as to the length of time the incumbent has been performing the duties of the reclassified position. The Civil Service Commission may conduct further investigation and required such additional information as deemed necessary so as to establish to its satisfaction the incumbent's eligibility for automatic certification to the reclassified position.
