2 <br /> Key changes include the following: <br /> Sexual Harassment <br /> 1. Responsibility (Section 2.5) <br /> Added to specify the responsibility <br /> of employees and supervisors, for maintaining a <br /> work environment free of sexual harassment. <br /> 2 .

Coverage (Section 3. 1) <br /> Clarifies that positions in the Sheriff and <br /> Register of Deeds departments are not covered. <br /> 4 . Policy (Section 3.3.4 ) <br /> Specifies and clarifies that appointment decisions <br /> and the selection process are based on job related <br /> criteria. <br /> 5. Internal Recruitment (Section 3.5) <br /> Provides that internal recruitment occurs for each <br /> opening except one filled by lateral transfer. <br /> This discontinues the policy of filling some <br /> openings through intra-departmental promotion <br /> without posting the opening in other departments <br /> and without permitting internal candidates in <br /> other departments to apply. <br /> With the policy change, each opening would be <br /> posted in all departments. In this way, employees <br /> in other departments have an opportunity to be <br /> considered along with employees in the recruiting <br /> department for a promotional opportunity.

This is the current <br /> practice. <br />
