The personnel of the department, except the director of welfare and his private secretary, shall be in the classified service from the date of the establishment of the department; and until such time as the county has an appropriate civil service facility, the positions and places of employment shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the civil service board of the first-class city contained in such county, and shall be governed by and made subject to the provisions of KRS 90.110 to 90.230, with the exception of KRS 90.210.
Insofar as practicable, and as may be provided for in any agreements executed in pursuance of KRS 98.300 to 98.390, all employees holding positions in the classified civil service, who have been appointed on the basis of a competitive examination and whose duties are transferred or may be transferred to the county department of welfare, shall be utilized for duties of a similar character and in the same class by the appointing authority. Persons not in the classified service, upon transfer, shall be included in the classified service hereunder and shall be considered as having satisfied all the requirements for obtaining original appointments and having completed their probationary periods of employment in the same or similar class or position held at the time of their transfer.
The employees of any local public welfare department or agency administered by the department under KRS 98.330 and 98.340 shall be, insofar as it is economical and as may be provided in any agreements executed in pursuance of KRS 98.300 to 98.390, retained as employees of the department and become subject to the laws, rules and regulations of the classified service, as are other employees of the department.
