Practice question
A permanent incumbent earns a new personal credential, but the position’s regular duties and responsibilities remain completely unchanged. Management invokes Section 11(h) to reclassify the post solely as a reward for the credential, without establishing any substantial duty change. No separate lawful basis is offered. Which is the best answer on that definition?
- The stated substantial-duty-change basis for reclassification has not been established by the personal credential alone.
- Any personal credential automatically changes all regular duties by law.
- A preferred new title alone satisfies every staffing rule.
- Reclassification means every salary reward regardless of position changes.
- The rule forbids all consideration of qualifications in any appointment.
