Sec. 20-41. - Classification plan.#
(a)
The classification plan shall consist of the approved class specifications adopted for each class of position in the town classified service. Class specifications are intended to be descriptive and explanatory and are not necessarily inclusive or exclusive.
(b)
In determining the class of position to which any position should be allocated, or reallocated, the specification of each class shall be read as a whole. Consideration shall be given to the general and specific duties, responsibilities, qualifications required for appointment, and relationship to other classes, as together affording a description of the kind of employment that the class is intended to embrace or include. The use of a particular expression or illustration as to the duties, and/or responsibilities shall not be held to exclude others not mentioned that are substantially similar as to kind and level of difficulty and responsibility.
(c)
Whenever new positions are authorized and created, whenever the duties and responsibilities of existing positions change, or whenever the classification plan is amended, the positions shall be reviewed in cooperation with the appointing authority.
(d)
When a class specification is revised, the incumbents of positions in the class shall be employed in the revised class with the same status held prior to the revision and if the pay range is changed in a concurrent action, the appropriate rate or step in the new range shall apply.
