Classification Actions
The following classification actions are being posted in accordance with Civil Service Rules 109, 209 and 309. As provided under San Francisco Charter Section 10.103, the Human Resources Director has the duty and authority to establish a system of job classification and to allocate each position to a job class. This includes the authority to make changes to the Classification Plan, including creating new classifications; abolishing, or consolidating classifications; or amending classification specifications as necessary.
Proposed classification actions are posted for seven calendar days. The proposed actions become effective on the eighth calendar day following the posting date unless a protest is submitted to the Human Resources Director prior to the end of the posting period.
The Human Resources Director will review and resolve all timely protests filed during this period. The decision of the Human Resources Director is appealable to the Civil Service Commission. Refer to the Civil Service Rules for more information on filing appeals of the Human Resources Director's determinations. 
Exception to the Order of Layoff
The following Exceptions to the Order of Layoff actions are being posted in accordance with Civil Service Rule 121. (NOTE: these apply to Civil Service employees in all classifications; except the Uniformed Ranks of the Police and Fire Departments and MTA Service-Critical Classes)
When a position in a department requires special skills or qualifications not identified in the classification specification (e.g., the ability to speak a second language), a special condition –also known as an Exception to the Order of Layoff –may be placed on the position.
In determining the most junior employee affected by a layoff in the classification, a Civil Service employee appointed to a position with special conditions may, in certain circumstances, remain in the position while other more senior employees are laid off. The Human Resources Director may administer an assessment or examination to determine if an employee possesses the required skills or qualifications.
All special conditions/Exceptions to the Order of Layoff require the approval of the Human Resources Director. Proposed classification actions are posted for seven calendar days. The proposed actions become effective on the eighth calendar day following the posting date unless a protest is submitted to the Human Resources Director within the seven-day posting period.
Personal Service Contracts (PSCs):
The following requests for Personal Services Contract ( PSC ) authority are being posted in accordance with Civil Service Commission policy. The Civil Service Commission reviews and approves departments' request for personal services contracting authorization. The Civil Service Commission will determine whether the needed services could and/or should be provided by a Civil Service employee rather than a contractor. PSCs include agreements for services paid by the City and County of San Francisco with individuals, companies, corporations, nonprofit organizations, and other public agencies.
The Department of Human Resources posts all departments' requests for PSC authorization in excess of $50,000 for seven calendar days. An appeal of a posted PSC must be submitted to the Civil Service Commission's offices by noon of the seventh day of posting; timely appeals will be considered by the Civil Service Commission at its next regularly scheduled meeting. PCSs that are not appealed within the seven-day posting period will be placed on the Civil Service Commission's meeting agenda (Ratification Agenda) for approval.
