Human Resources Administrative Rules (HRAR)

The Administrative Rules are direct policies and procedures of a continuing nature. These rules remain in full force and effect until officially revised, superseded or repealed by the Mayor and/or Chief Administrative Officer through the revisions or repeals process.

The Bureau of Human Resources is responsible for facilitating the revisions or repeals process. A comprehensive review process of all Administrative Rules is done on an annual basis and as needed throughout the year.
