Classification & Compensation Study
The Marin County Office of Education is currently undergoing an agency-wide Classification and Compensation Study for its classified employees, which is overseen by the Personnel Commission Services.
The Merit System & Personnel Commission Rules
What is a Merit System?
Merit System law provides that classified employees are selected, retained and promoted on the basis of merit and fitness, exclusive of discrimination due to actual or perceived race, color, ethnicity, age, religion, political affiliation, marital status, disability, gender, sexual orientation or national origin. The Merit System means that an impartial body is responsible for implementing and interpreting Merit System rules and adjudicating appeals on those facets of employment within its purview.
