The primary function of the El Dorado County Office of Education Personnel Commission is to develop and maintain a viable Merit System for the classified employees (except Charter employees) of the El Dorado County Office of Education. They oversee a system of personnel management called the Merit System, which was established as state law (Education Code Sections 45240 - 45320). The Personnel Commission's fundamental purpose is to ensure that classified employees are selected, promoted and retained without favoritism or prejudice, on the basis of merit and fitness, and given protection against arbitrary dismissal through rights of appeal. The Personnel Commission meets on a regular schedule each month at the El Dorado County Office of Education, publishing its Agendas and Minutes. Some of the services are as follows:

• Establish and keep up-to-date a classification plan and allocate all positions within the Classified Service to classes within this plan
• Recommend to the Superintendent appropriate salary schedules and allocate each class in the Classified Service to the proper schedule
• Conduct or participate in salary surveys to allocate salary rates which are based on the principle of "equal pay for equal work"
• Prepare class specifications, including recommended minimum qualifications that meet local state and federal requirements
• Formulate and prescribe rules and regulations necessary to insure the efficiency of the service and the selection and retention of employees on the basis of merit and fitness
• Prescribe procedures to establish eligibility lists which may be extended by order of the Personnel Commission
• Designate classes for which examinations will be open-competitive or promotional
• Conduct hearings of appeals from such administrative actions as suspensions, demotions, dismissals
• Formulate and implement performance ratings for all employees
• Certify employees have been recruited by competitive procedures and assigned in accordance with compensation schedule
