Section 22. Promotion <br /> <br />Promotional or open-promotional examinations may be conducted <br />whenever in the opinion of the Personnel Officer the needs of the <br />service require. Only employees who meet the requirements set <br />forth in the examination announcements may compete in promotional <br />examinations. <br /> <br />Insofar as consistent with the best interests of the service all <br />vacancies in the competitive service shall be filled by promotion <br />from within the competitive service after a promotional <br />examination has been given and a promotional list established. <br /> <br />When the needs of the service so require, an employee meeting the <br />minimum qualifications may be temporarily promoted to an <br />authorized position on an "acting" basis. While serving in the <br />position the employee temporarily promoted shall be paid the <br />minimum rate of pay for the classification except that said rate <br />of pay shall be no less than 5% above the employee's normal rate <br />of pay. <br /> <br />Nothing in this section, however, shall restrict a Department <br />Head from requiring an employee possessing the minimum <br />qualifications to serve in a higher classification without an <br />adjustment in compensation for a period not to exceed five (5) <br />consecutive working days. <br /> <br />If, in the opinion of the Personnel Officer, a vacancy in the <br />position could be filled better by an open-competitive <br />examination instead of promotional examination, he/she shall <br />arrange an open-competitive employee list consistent with the <br />Personnel Rules. <br /> <br />Section 23. Transfer <br /> <br />An employee may be transferred by the Appointing Authority to a <br />comparable position. For purposes of this section comparable <br />position is one with the same maximum salary, involving the <br />performance of similar duties and requiring substantially the <br />same minimum qualifications. <br /> <br />If the transfer involves a change from one department to another <br />both Department Heads must consent thereto unless the City <br />Manager orders the transfer for purposes of economy and <br />efficiency. Transfer shall not be used to effect discipline or a <br />promotion or advancement. <br /> <br />Section 24. Resignation, Reinstatement and Layoff <br /> <br />24.1 <br /> <br />Voluntary Resignation <br /> <br />An employee may resign in good standing by submitting to the <br />Personnel Officer a written resignation stating the reasons <br />therefore and effective date thereof at least two (2) weeks prior <br />thereto. <br /> <br />- 32 - <br /> <br /> <br />
