Section 21. Promotion <br /> Promotional or open - promotional examinations may be <br /> conducted whenever in the opinion of the Personnel <br /> Officer the needs of the service require. Only employees <br /> who meet the requirements set forth in the examination <br /> announcements may compete in promotional examinations. <br /> Insofar as consistent with the best interests of the <br /> service all vacancies in the competitive service shall <br /> be filled by promotion from within the competitive service <br /> after a promotional examination has been given and a <br /> promotional list established. <br /> When the needs of the service so require, an employee <br /> meeting the minimum qualifications may be temporarily <br /> promoted to an authorized position on an "acting" basis. <br /> While serving in the position the employee temporarily <br /> promoted shall be paid the minimum rate of pay for the <br /> classification except that said rate of pay shall be no <br /> less than 5,- above the employee's normal rate of pay. <br /> Nothing in this section, however, shall restrict a <br /> department head from requiring an employee possessing the <br /> minimum qualifications to serve in a higher classification <br /> without an adjustment in compensation for a period not to <br /> exceed five (5) consecutive working days. <br /> If, in the opinion of the Personnel Officer, a vacancy in <br /> the position could be filled better by an open - competitive <br /> examination instead of promotional examination, he /she <br /> shall arrange an open - competitive employment list <br /> consistent with the Personnel Rules. <br /> Section 22. Transfer <br /> An employee may be transferred by the Appointing Authority <br /> to a comparable position. For purposes of this section a <br /> comparable position is one with the same maximum salary, <br /> involving the performance of similar duties and requiring <br /> substantially the same minimum qualifications. <br /> If the transfer involves a change from one department to <br /> another both department heads must consent thereto unless <br /> the City Manager orders the transfer for purposes of <br /> economy and efficiency. Transfer shall not be used to <br /> effect discipline or a promotion or advancement. <br /> -29- <br />
