Kan. Admin. Regs. § 1-1-5 - Pilot projects
(a) Plans for pilot
projects within the state employee workforce may be developed by the director
for the purpose of determining whether a specified change in human resource
management policies or procedures or a new human resources program would result
in improved statewide human resource management. The plan shall specifically
delineate any provisions of one or more personnel regulations relating to state
agencies and state employees that are to be suspended with respect to
participants in the pilot project and shall include findings that each proposed
suspension of a regulation meets all of the following criteria:
(1) Suspension of the regulation is necessary
to implement a pilot project that is expected to accomplish one or more of the
following purposes:
(A) To provide a means to
recruit, select, develop, or maintain an effective and responsible workforce;
(B) to provide personnel
administration practices that meet the social, economic, and program needs of
the people of the state of Kansas;
(C) to facilitate the administration of
personnel actions based on merit principles and fitness to perform the work
required;
(D) to provide fair and
equal opportunity for public service; or
(E) to provide improvements and economies in
the organization and operation of state agencies.
(2) Suspension of the regulation will not be
in conflict with the civil service act or any other statute of the state of
Kansas.
(3) Suspension of the
regulation will not be in conflict with any applicable federal statutes or
regulations.
(4) Suspension of the
regulation will not result in any personnel administration actions made on the
basis of race, national origin or ancestry, religion, political affiliation, or
other nonmerit factors.
(b) The plan for a pilot project shall be
subject to review by the secretary of administration. The pilot project may be
approved, modified and approved, or rejected by the secretary. Each plan that
is either approved or modified and approved by the secretary shall be submitted
to the governor.
(c)
Implementation of the pilot project may be authorized by the governor in the
form of an executive directive, which may place additional limitations or
conditions on implementation of the pilot project as the governor deems
advisable. The executive directive shall stipulate any provisions of one or
more personnel regulations relating to state agencies and state employees that
are suspended for participants in the pilot project. Such a suspension of
provisions of one or more regulations shall be effective only for pilot project
participants and only for the duration of the pilot project.
