Executive Order 416
No person shall hereafter be appointed to the position of laborer except upon certification under the civil-service rules, if the position requires, in connection with the usual duties of mere laborer, the performance of work of the grade done by classified employees. No person who is to perform manual labor merely, in cities where the labor regulations are in force, shall be appointed without the approval of the board of labor employment, subject to the supervision of the Civil Service Commission.
Laborers now employed in such cities, whose principal duties are of the grade performed by classified employees, and who are efficiently and satisfactorily performing such duties, may, subject to tho approval of the Civil Service Commission, be regarded as classified upon such approval. No laborer thus classified shall receive increase of pay or be promoted or transferred without examination by the Commission.
Heads of Departments shall report to the Commission the names and duties of each laborer in the offices affected by this order, stating specifically the kind of labor performed, whether his services have been efficient and satisfactory, and, where the laborer is assigned to more than one kind of work, approximately the length of time assigned to classified and unclassified work daily.
