Waiver of Minimum Qualifications. If in the opinion of the City Manager, the City is facing staffing reductions which will result in displacement of employees, a waiver of minimum qualifications and/or the substitution of related experience and education may be made in promotional examinations, with an understanding on the part of management and supervisory personnel that adequate on-the-job training which can be completed within no more than one year, will be provided to facilitate job adjustment and to compensate for the waiver of qualification standards if that has occurred. The promotional recruitment announcement will state that minimum qualifications may be waived providing the applicant’s experience and education demonstrates her/his on-the- job development potential, as stated above. In promotional appointments where the minimum qualifications have been waived, the probationary period will be one year to allow the employee time to demonstrate development of the necessary job knowledge and skills.
