Section 284.150 - Class specifications1. Class specifications will define a class based on a sound, systematic occupational analysis and evaluation of the position and will contain elements sufficient to distinguish the various classes from one another. The use of a particular expression or illustration as to duties must not be interpreted to exclude others not mentioned but that are of similar kind and relevant to the class.2. Any option within a class which is included in the class specification will be considered a separate class.3. In determining the class to which any position will be allocated, the specification will be considered as a whole and in relation to others in the classification plan. The duties, responsibilities, qualifications, knowledge, and abilities required for a class will be considered in relation to those for other classes in determining the kinds of positions which a class may include.4. The qualifications which are required for a particular class are the standards for the evaluation of applications for positions in that class. The Division of Human Resource Management may, after consulting with appointing authorities, interpret these qualifications so that qualifications which are equivalent to those which are specified for the class may be accepted. The interpretation of qualifications which are considered equivalent must not circumvent the principles of selection on the basis of merit.5. Qualifications which are required to perform the essential functions of a position, such as possession of a valid driver's license, may be required by the appointing authority if: (a) So indicated for the position at the time of public notice or appointment; or(b) Written notice of the required qualifications is given to the employee. Any disagreement concerning the validity of the required qualifications may be submitted for adjustment pursuant to the procedure for the adjustment of grievances set forth in NAC 284.658 to 284.697, inclusive.
