36.340. In cooperation with appointing authorities the director shall establish a system of service reports, which shall take into consideration, among other things, the employee's conduct, performance, and output. In such manner and with such weight as shall be provided in the regulations, ratings assigned to such service reports shall be considered in determining salary increases and decreases within the limits established by law and by the pay plan; as a factor in promotional examinations; as a factor in determining the order of layoff when forces must be reduced because of lack of work or funds, and the order in which names are to be placed on reinstatement registers; and as a means of discovering employees who should be demoted, transferred or dismissed. In such manner and at such time as the regulations may require, each appointing authority shall report to the director on the services of employees in his division. Any employee shall be given reasonable opportunity to inspect the records of the department which show the ratings assigned to his service reports.
