Section 9. The board may promulgate such rules governing the employees of the office of the sheriff through a personnel manual which shall contain provisions for equal opportunity in employment and advancement on a nondiscriminatory basis for all persons, and shall contain provisions that all employment policies shall be administered without regard to race, color, religion, sex, age, or national origin in regard to examinations, eligible registers, appointments, transfers, salaries, promotions, demotions, annual and sick leave, and such other matters as may be necessary to accomplish the purposes of this act.

(8) Conduct investigations or hearings, examine witnesses under oath and compel their attendance or the production of evidence before it by subpoenas issued in the name of the county.
(9) Administer oaths to witnesses who appear before the board.
Section 11. The personnel director shall keep a register of all persons eligible and available for appointment to each class and position in the service of the county under this act, ranked according to ability. Employees laid off who are subsequently available for reemployment shall be placed at the head of this list for eligible registrants in the inverse order of their terminations. Employees who voluntarily terminate their services may be granted reemployment status only under such circumstances and in such manner as may be provided for in the board’s rules and regulations.
Section 12. Persons seeking employment in any position shall file an application with the personnel director, who shall make those applications available to the appointing authority. The appointing authority, from time to time, shall conduct examinations to test the ability of such applicants. All qualified applicants shall be examined based upon factors pertinent to the ability to discharge the duties of the position. Examinations shall be practical and shall relate to those matters which test the ability of the person examined to discharge intelligently the duties of the position for which he or she applies. Once the qualified applicants have been examined, those selected for employment may then be hired by the appointing authority, as long as funding is available for the position. Any persons may make reapplication for any position.
Section 13. Whenever a vacancy exists in any position, it shall be filled by appointment of one of the appropriate eligible registrants, or by transfer within the service from another position of the same class. However, any eligible person of the same class who has been laid off, as provided in Section 12, shall receive preference in hiring in every instance. Whenever it is impossible to certify eligible persons to a vacancy, the board may authorize the appointing authority to fill the vacancy temporarily pending the establishment of an eligible registrant. Temporary appointments shall be effective for six months, and may be extended for six additional months by the board, upon request by the appointing authority. All appointments other than temporary appointments shall be probationary for six months from the date of appointment. A probationary subordinate employee may be discharged by his or her appointing authority for unsatisfactory service at any time before the expiration of that period. After the expiration of the probationary period, an appointment shall be permanent, subject to discharge thereafter only for cause.
Section 14. The sheriff, or the appointing authority to whom the sheriff has delegated such disciplinary powers, may remove, discharge, suspend, or demote any subordinate employee in the classified service of the office of the sheriff, provided that within five days thereof, a written report of such action is made to the board, giving the reason or circumstances surrounding such disciplinary action. If any aggrieved employee is suspended for more than one day, removed, discharged, or demoted, he or she shall be entitled to a board hearing on such disciplinary action, upon written demand thereon within 10 days of such action. A hearing shall be held within 10 days of the receipt of the written request therefor. All meetings of the board on disciplinary matters shall be open to the public, and shall observe the aggrieved employee’s right to face his or her accusers and be heard in his or her own defense. Pending a hearing on any disciplinary action, the aggrieved employee may be temporarily suspended. Upon a hearing, the board may order the employee reinstated with back pay from the time of such action to the date of reinstatement, or take or approve such disciplinary action as, in its judgment, is warranted by evidence and under the law. Either aggrieved party, the sheriff, or the employee shall, after an adverse hearing, have the right to rehearing and appeal as hereinafter provided.
Section 15. The board shall have the power to administer oaths, take depositions, certify official acts, and issue subpoenas to compel the attendance of witnesses and production of papers necessary as evidence in connection with any hearing, investigation, or proceeding within the purview of this act. The sheriff, or some other person so designated by the sheriff, shall serve all processes of the board, and shall attend and preserve order at all public hearings conducted by the board. If a person refuses to obey a subpoena from the board, the board or its authorized representative, may ask the Circuit Court of Etowah County to order the evidence to be produced. Upon proper showing, the circuit court may order compliance with the subpoena. Failure to comply with such an order shall constitute contempt of court. The fees of witnesses for attendance and travel shall be the same as fees for witnesses in the circuit courts of this state, which fees shall be paid from the county treasury.
Section 16. The sheriff or the employee aggrieved by a decision of the board in the original hearing shall be entitled to rehearing of the issue before the board as provided herein. The aggrieved party shall make written request upon the board within five days of an adverse decision of the original hearing and the board shall, within 10 days of receipt of a request for rehearing, hold the rehearing in substantially the same manner as the original hearing to review its earlier decision. If, on rehearing, either party is aggrieved by the decision of the board, the party may appeal the decision to the Circuit Court of Etowah County within 30 days from the release of the decision by the board. The proceedings before the circuit court shall be without jury and shall be de novo.
Section 17. Whenever, in the judgment of the sheriff, it becomes necessary in the interest of the economy or because the necessity for a position no longer exists, the sheriff may abolish any position in the classified service and lay off employees, based on seniority, without filing written charges and without the right to a hearing as provided in this act.
Section 18. All expenses incurred in the implementation of this act shall be paid by the county out of the county treasury.
Section 19. It is the intent of this act to create a personnel system for the employees of the office of sheriff to be separated from that of other county offices and departments effective upon enactment of this act into law.
Section 20. All laws or parts of laws which conflict with this act are repealed.
Section 21. This act shall become effective following its passage and approval by the Governor, or its otherwise becoming law, and following ratification of a constitutional amendment authorizing the creation of a personnel board for the employees of the Office of the Sheriff of Etowah County.
