(a) Each appointing authority and department head is authorized to hire employees to fill approved vacancies as established by the county commission. All classified employees and temporary employees shall be hired from a certified register provided by the personnel department of job applicants who meet the job-related qualifications. After a certified register is submitted to a county appointing authority or department head, the selection of an employee shall be acted upon within 30 days of submission for approval of the county commission. An appointed employee is not required to be hired from a certified register. Employees appointed by the county shall be classified employees, except as provided by this article.
(b) All personnel activities shall be in accordance with the rules, policies, and procedures adopted by the county commission.
(c) The county commission shall provide full, fair, and adequate justification for each placement action taken and must be able to relate each such action to objective criteria established from commencement of the requisition and recruiting process. The county commission is directed to establish sufficient safeguards to prevent the arbitrary or capricious application of personnel policies and procedures to classified employees.
