In the above classification the inclusion of any specified official in any class, subdivision or grade shall not apply to any person acting as or termed as a deputy or assistant of such official, nor to any person acting for or as such official in case of absence, vacancy in office or otherwise. The term "deputy" or "assistant" is not recognized in this classification, unless such designation is authorized by law. Where any person receives a compensation rated not by the year, but by the day, week or month, the classification of such person, when dependent upon compensation, will be based upon his or her equivalent annual compensation. The classes indicate the several grand divisions of the service. The subdivisions are intended to mark the distinct kinds of qualification necessary in each class, and the grade in the subdivisions are designed as steps for advancement by formal promotion. The omission in the above classification of any official designation or appellation of a position in the service will not exclude such position from the classification, as it will be comprised in the class to which it belongs by the general specification of such class.
