Civil service appointing procedure

Conclusions

All human relationships involve potential complications. Personnel administration is no exception. In the administration of personnel in the public service the situation is seemingly intensified by the existence of statutes and rules which govern employment operations.

The State Constitution and the Civil Service Law are mandates of the people and of their representatives in the Legislature. The Civil Service Commission is responsible for administering these mandates through the adoption of suitable rules and regulations. There is no choice given to those who administer the law, or who operate under it, of accepting that part of it which they like and rejecting that which they do not. Consequently, thorough appreciation of the intent, method of application, and limitation of these legal controls is essential. It is toward that end that the writer urges your efforts.
