Rule 3-8: Veterans' Preference
On January 17, 2008, Governor Jennifer Granholm requested that the Civil Service Commission amend Rule 3-8 to extend indefinitely the time during which a hiring preference is available to veterans. Currently, Rule 3-8 limits the hiring preference to the first five years after the veteran has completed military service. Staff has drafted the attached amendments to Rule 3-8 that, if approved, would remove the 5-year limit, thereby making veterans' preference available without any time limit.
Rule 5-4.2, Overtime and Regulation 5.02, Premium Payment of Overtime. . .
Rule 5-4.2 provides overtime pay for time in pay status (excluding sick leave) "in excess of 8 hours in a day and 40 hours in a week or as otherwise provided in the regulations" In the attached amendment, staff proposes to clarify that overtime is generally only paid for work in excess of 40 hours in a week. In addition, if the Commission approves the rule amendment, I will issue the attached amendments to Regulation 5.02.
The proposed rule amendments will be considered by the Civil Service Commission at its next meeting, 10:00 a.m., Wednesday, March 19, 2008, Capitol Commons Center, 400 S. Pine Street, Lansing. Comments regarding the proposed amendments may be addressed to Janet McClelland, Chief Deputy Director, Civil Service Commission, PO Box 30002, Lansing, Michigan, 48909, or e mail at McClellandJ@Michigan.gov. Comments must be received by Wednesday, March 12, 2008.
