Acquisition of services.
The services and facilities of the Commission and its staff shall be available
to departments, boards, commissions, or agencies, and political subdivisions of
the Commonwealth under the following terms and conditions:
(1) Formal application for extension of the
services of the Commission shall be made in writing and shall be signed by the
executive head of the requesting department, or by the chairman of the board,
commission, or agency, accompanied by a proper resolution adopted by the board,
commission, or agency, or by the proper official of the political subdivision,
as appropriate.
(2) Applications
for the extension of the services of the Commission shall state in detail the
particular services requested, if less than a complete merit system is desired.
If the applying agency desires the Commission to administer a complete merit
system, the application shall so state and shall specify desired exceptions to
the application of the act.
(3)
Granting of the application shall be evidenced by a formal written contract or
agreement, consistent with this section, between the applicant and the
Commission, a copy of which shall be retained by the Commission as a public
record.
(4) Applications for the
requested extension of services may be granted in whole or in part at the
discretion of the Commission.
(5)
The Director will maintain, and make available to prospective applicants on
request, a list of classes of positions in the classified service and of
classes of positions to which the services of the Commission have been
extended.
(6) In the case of a
contract between an agency and the Commission extending a complete merit system
to a class of positions, the legally applicable provisions of the act and this
part shall be deemed incorporated in the contract, unless the contract
specifies otherwise.
(b)
Reimbursement for services. Reimbursement shall be as follows:
(1) The Commission shall be reimbursed for
the actual cost of preparing, administering and rating examinations; and for
the semi-annual cost of services and facilities made available, in the
proportion which the cost of the services and facilities bears to the total
cost of these services and facilities of the Commission, based on the ratio of
its employes in the classified service to those of all the agencies serviced by
the Commission.
(2) The number of
employes in the classified service in each agency serviced shall be reported to
or tabulated by the Director on the last working day of each month.
(c)
Personnel actions by
political subdivisions. Personnel actions taken by political
subdivisions under contract with the Commission shall conform to the act, this

unreasonable result, in which case the Director shall determine the appropriate
action to be taken.
