Occasionally departments will hire people to fill grant posit: is .
under specialized programs for the life of the grant only u
-existing county classifications. Most grants require that screening
for these positions be done under a recognized merit system
process which provides grant employees Merit System protection
for the life of the grant.
A department head may employe ,a person through this process
under a grant, in an existing classification for specialized
skills required by the grant while, at the same time he might
not employ that same person in the same classification under .
his regularly budgeted programs for lack of experience, knowledg
or other required skills.
This request for a rule change is aimed at clarifying the st.p:t.
of grant employees with emphasis on their protectedrights_ur
