The civil service board, shall, as soon as practicable and after consultation with the sheriff, classify all offices, employments and positions, not exempt from the provisions of this act, according to the duties, responsibilities and supervisory character of each position, if any. Titles shall be established for each class of office, employment or position for use in examining and certifying the names of persons for appointment under this act. A description of the duties and responsibilities exercised by the persons appointed to each of them shall be drawn up, and minimum qualifications, including tenure, if the same be made a qualification, required for satisfactory performance of the duties of each grade and class shall be formulated. The titles in the several classifications, as defined by the specifications of duties and qualifications shall be used for (a) original appointments, (b) promotions, (c) payrolls, and (d) all other records affecting the status of personnel. The classifications, when approved by the civil service commission and as to pay, salary or compensation ratified by the board of county commissioners, shall take effect immediately. The civil service board, after consultation with the sheriff may make changes in such classifications whenever it deems it necessary for the efficiency of law enforcement in said county, and such changes, when made by the civil service board, shall take effect immediately: Provided, however, That in no event shall any change increasing the pay, salary or compensation of any classification be made until the same has been ratified by the board of county commissioners. The civil service board shall, as soon as possible after the adoption of the classification plan and after consultation with the sheriff, prepare a schedule of salary or wage rates and ranges for each class, grade or group of positions in the classification; and the same shall take effect upon approval of said board and upon ratification of said board and upon ratification of said board of county commissioners: Provided, That if said board of county commissioners fail or refuse, by majority vote to ratify said schedule, or any part thereof, then, as to the part not so ratified, the prior compensation paid shall continue to be the compensation for such classification or grade: Provided further, That the civil service board may not reduce the compensation for any individual except under the provisions of K.S.A. 19-4327.
