| Meet the Civil Service Commission |
The
Civil Service Commission is a bipartisan, four-member body, appointed by
the Governor.
Current Commissioners include Bryan J. Waldman, Chair, Andrew P. Abood, Sherry L. McMillan, and Thomas M. (Mac) Wardrop.
The Commission also appoints a State Personnel Director to implement their
decisions via the Department of Civil Service. State
of Michigan Constitution (Article 11, Section 5) mandates that the Civil
Service Commission shall:
- Classify
all positions in the classified service according to their respective
duties and responsibilities,
- Fix rates of compensation
for all classes of positions,
- Approve or disapprove
disbursements for all personal services,
- Determine by competitive
examination
and performance exclusively on the basis of merit, efficiency, and fitness
the qualifications of all candidates for positions in the classified
service,
- Make rules
and regulations covering all personnel transactions, and
- Regulate all conditions
of employment in the classified service.
The Civil Service
Commission is charged with translating this mandate into action to help
the state meet the challenges of the workplace of tomorrow.
