Personnel Rules

Note: Employees who are represented under the terms of an authorized collective bargaining agreement between the City and a labor union are subject to the terms and conditions of that collective bargaining agreement when the agreement is in conflict with these rules. If the agreement is silent, the Personnel Rules apply.

The City is committed to making digital services accessible to all people regardless of ability, including those who use assistive technologies. Seattle Human Resources’ commitment to digital accessibility is reflected in our ongoing efforts to improve the accessibility of the following Personnel Rules.
