ORIGIN & FUNCTIONS
The Department of Personnel develops and maintains a personnel system that recruits, trains, and
strives to retain an efficient, qualified work force for public service in State government (Code 1957, Art.
41, sees. 9-101 through 9-106).
Origins of the Department date to 1920 when the Merit System was established for employees of State
government. In that year, the office of State Employment Commissioner was created to administer the
Merit System (Chapter 41, Acts of 1920). The Commissioner in 1922 was renamed Commissioner of
State Employment and Registration and became head of the Department of Stare Employment and
Registration (Chapter 29, Acts of 1922). The Commissioner of State Employment and Registration also
chaired the State Employees' Standard Salary Board, formed in 1941 (Chapter 395, Acts of 1941). In
1953, the Commissioner became the State Commissioner of Personnel (Chapter 310, Acts of 1953). The
State Commissioner of Personnel became responsible for the State Incentive Awards Board in 1958
(Chapter 65, Acts of 1958). The Department of Personnel superseded the Commissioner in 1970.
Although the State Employees Standard Salary Board and the Stare Incentive Awards Board were
abolished in 1970, their main functions were assigned to the Department of Personnel (Chapter 98, Acts
ofl970).
Directed by the Secretary of Personnel, the Department is organized under an assistant secretary for
compensation and employee selection, an assistant secretary for administration, and a director of employee
services (Code 1957, Art. 41, sees. 9-101 through 9-106; Art. 64A, sees. 1-63).
