98.370 Personnel -- Civil service.
The personnel of the department, except the director of welfare and his private
secretary, shall be in the classified service from the date of the establishment of the
department; and until such time as the county has an appropriate civil service
facility, the positions and places of employment shall be subject to the jurisdiction of
the civil service board of the first-class city contained in such county, and shall be
governed by and made subject to the provisions of KRS 90.110 to 90.230, with the
exception of KRS 90.210. Insofar as practicable, and as may be provided for in any
agreements executed in pursuance of KRS 98.300 to 98.390, all employees holding
positions in the classified civil service, who have been appointed on the basis of a
competitive examination and whose duties are transferred or may be transferred to
the county department of welfare, shall be utilized for duties of a similar character
and in the same class by the appointing authority. Persons not in the classified
service, upon transfer, shall be included in the classified service hereunder and shall
be considered as having satisfied all the requirements for obtaining original
appointments and having completed their probationary periods of employment in the
same or similar class or position held at the time of their transfer. The employees of
any local public welfare department or agency administered by the department
under KRS 98.330 and 98.340 shall be, insofar as it is economical and as may be
provided in any agreements executed in pursuance of KRS 98.300 to 98.390,
retained as employees of the department and become subject to the laws, rules and
regulations of the classified service, as are other employees of the department. This
section shall not be construed to compel the appointment of more employees than
are necessary to perform properly the duties of the department nor as applying to
persons employed less than six (6) months prior to their transfer to the department.
