The purpose of this subchapter is to develop and maintain systems within the department for the objective, consistent, and timely classification of all civil service positions and for the reasonable and consistent assignment of classes of positions to pay ranges. The systems so established shall be based on merit, and contribute to the selection and retention of public employees by compensating them in accordance with law. The systems or any portions thereof may be extended to non-civil service positions as required by law or for the good of the service.
