About the Commission

The Civil Service Commission is a nonpartisan public body responsible for policy direction and oversight of a merit system. This system is used for the selection, promotion, and retention of civil service employees in Placer County service, as governed by the County Charter. The Commission makes final decisions on appeals involving alleged improper action or the denial of any rights provided by the County Code and Civil Service Rules. This includes examination and selection procedures, appeals relating to the classification plan, and/or appeals from disciplinary actions.
