503 Reclassification
From time to time due to growth or a change in demands for service, a job description
and duties may change substantially. In the event that such a need arises, an
administrative reclassification of a current employee filling an existing position may
be warranted.
.01 The appropriate department shall make a written request for reclassification based
on a change in job duties and/or grade.
.02 The Human Resources Department shall perform a job audit prior to approval of the
reclassification. If the reclassification results in a non-exempt position becoming
exempt, comp time earned by the reclassified employee shall be paid.
.03 The requesting department shall update the job description, performance standards
and weights as needed prior to the effective date of the reclassification.
.04 The employee must meet all qualifications for the position. No drug screen or
physical is required for a reclassification. If a different functional assessment screen,
background check, credit check, polygraph, driving record, and/or educational
requirements are required, the employee will need to meet the new requirements.
.05 Should the reclassification for open range employees result in the employee being
moved to a grade with a higher maximum salary, the employee may receive a pay
increase. However, supervisors shall generally be paid 5% above their highest paid
subordinate. Supervising another employee involves all of the following: training,
disciplining, and conducting performance evaluations.
.06 Should the reclassification for Public Safety employees result in the employee being
moved to a grade with a higher maximum salary, the employee may be moved to the
higher pay grade and placed in the new range on the next step that is higher than
the employee’s current pay. However, supervisors shall generally be paid 5% above
their highest paid subordinate.
.07 The movement of an employee from one employment classification to another in the
same job and department (i.e. part-time to regular full-time) will be considered a
reclassification.
.08 A reclassification does not alter an employee's anniversary/longevity or review date
and does not result in another probationary period, unless the employee has never
served an initial probation period (i.e. moving from part-time, seasonal or casual to a
regular full-time or regular part-time classification).
