If your position is upgraded, you are not automatically promoted. First, the Board of Supervisors must approve a recommendation from Human Resources to reclassify your position. If the Board approves the reclassification, you must participate in an examination and appointment process unless the Civil Service Commission waives the examination. A waiver of examination is appropriate if you have been in the position performing the higher-level duties of the new class for the length of the established probationary period. Human Resources will coordinate the waiver process.
