All classifications shall be evaluated by use of a formal job evaluation system. When complete, the classification plan shall include for each class of positions an appropriate class title, a description of the duties and responsibilities, and the minimum requirements of training, experience, and other qualifications.

Subp. 2.

Review by council.

The proposed classification plan, and any changes therein, shall be submitted to the merit system council for review and recommendations.
