ever, that so far as practicable appointment to extra positions shall be
made from the eligible lists; and provided further that no such appointment
shall be made for a period exceeding ninety days.

An appointing authority or any officer authorized by an appointing
authority may, to prevent the stoppage of the public business when an
emergency arises and time will not permit of the securing of the consent
of the Commissioner and the appointment by him of a person, appoint any
qualified person during the emergency for a period not exceeding sixty
days. Persons thus appointed shall be known as emergency employees.
Prompt report shall be made to the Commissioner of emergency appoint-
ments and such appointments shall not be renewed.

13. The Commissioner shall, in his annual report, recommend to the
Governor schedules of compensation for each of the classes of positions
established pursuant to this Article. Said schedules shall prescribe a
minimum and maximum salary rate and such intermediate rates as may
be considered necessary and proper to provide increases between the mini-
mum and the maximum. The Commissioner shall also report to the
Governor the rates being paid for similar services elsewhere, in public
and private service, together with other information pertaining to a proper
rate of compensation.

1920, ch. 41, sec. 14.

14. The Commissioner shall by rule prescribe standards of perfor-
mance for any positions or classes of positions and may prescribe the form
and scope of the records that the appointing authorities shall keep of the
actual performance, output and conduct of employees as a basis for the
determination of the efficiency of such employees.

The Commissioner shall by rule provide for the transfer of employees,
provided, however, that no employee shall be transferred from a position in
one department to a position in another department without the consent of
the respective appointing authorities, and provided further that no employee
shall be transferred from a position in one class to a position in a different
class whether in the same or in a different department, except under the
provisions of this section.

The transfer of an employee from a position in a given class to a posi-
tion in a different class for which a higher maximum rate of compensation
is prescribed shall be considered a promotion, and, in effect, a new appoint-
ment and may be made only under the provisions governing appointments
herein.

The transfer of an employee against his consent from a position in a
given class to a position in a different class for which a lower maximum
rate of compensation is prescribed shall be considered a demotion and may
be made only under the provisions governing removal and demotion herein.
