to another position in the same class or
rank in his division. Upon m aking such an
assignment, the appointing authority shall
forthwith given written notice of his ac
tion to the director.
A transfer of an employe from a position
in one division to a position in same class
or rank in another division may be made
with the approval of the director and of
the appointing authorities of both divisions.
No employe shall be transferred from a
position in one class to a position in an
other class of a higher rank or for which
there are substantially dissimilar require
ments for appointment unless he is ap
pointed to such later position after certifi
cation of his name from a list in accordance
with the provisions of this act. A n y change
of an employe from a position in one class
to a position in a class of lower rank shall
be considered a demotion and shall be
made only in accordance with the proce
dure prescribed for dismissal, except when
an employe submits to the director a w rit
ten request for change to a class of lower
rank, and the request 4s granted, such
change shall be termed a “voluntary trans
fe r.”
Section 16. 1. Every person appointed to
a position in the classified service after
certification of his name from an employ
ment list shall serve a trial service period
of six months, or shall satisfactorily com
plete a period of in-service training, stan
dards of which are satisfactory to the com
mission. A t such times during the trial
service period and in such manner as the
director m ay require, the appointing au
thority shall report to the director his ob
servation of the employe’s work, and ju d g
ment as to the employe’s willingness and
ability to perform his duties satisfactorily,
and as to his habits and dependability. A t
any time during his trial service period,
after the first two months thereof, the
appointing authority may remove an em
ploye if, in the opinion of the appointing
authority, the trial service indicates that
such employe is unable or unw illing to
perform his duties satisfactorily or that his
habits and dependability do not merit his
continuance in the service. Upon such re
moval, the appointing authority shall forth
with report to the director, and to the em
ploye removed, his action and the reason
therefor. No more than three employes
shall be removed successively from the
same position during their trial service
periods without the approval of the direc
tor. The appointing authority m ay remove
an employe within the first two months of
his trial service period only with the ap
proval of the director. The director may
remove an employe during his trial service
period if he finds, after giving him notice
and an opportunity to be heard by the
commission, that such employe was ap
pointed as a result of fraud or error.
2. The employe shall be deemed to have
served satisfactorily his trial service per
iod, and to be a regular employe, unless
at least 10 days prior to the expiration of
such trial service period the appointing
authority has notified the director in w rit
ing that the employe’s services have not,
been satisfactory.
3. If any employe is removed from his
position during or at the end of his trial
service period, and the director determines
that he is suitable for appointment to an
other position, his name m ay be restored
to the list from which it was certified. If
any such employe was a regular employe
in another position in the classified service
immediately prior to his appointment, he
shall be reinstated to his form er position
unless charges are filed and he is dis
charged as provided in this act.
Section 17. In cooperation with appoint
ing authorities, the commission shall estab
lish standards of performance for employes
in each class of positions in the classified
service or for groups of classes, and a sys
tem of merit ratings based upon such
standards. In such manner and with such
weight as shall be provided in the rules,
merit ratings shall be considered in deter
mining salary increases and decreases w ith
in the limits established by law and by
the compensation plan; as a factor in pro
motion tests; as a factor in determining
the order of lay -o ff when forces must be
reduced because of lack of funds or work,
and the order in which names are to be
placed on reemployment lists; and as a
means of discovering employes who should
be promoted, demoted, transferred or dis
missed.
Section 18. 1. The rules shall provide for
the hours of work, holidays, and attendance
regulations in the various classes of posi
tions in the classified service.
2. Written leave of absence without pay
