City Manager DATE: December 3. 1987 SUBJECT: Personnel Reclassification Policy -77 As indicated in my November 19, 1987 memorandum. I have received two requests for reclassifications or pay grade changes of personnel. In that memorandum. I set forth a proposed policy. but requested that it be withdrawn at the December 1st Board meeting. This was based on certain revisions which I felt necessary to make for a clearer policy. Before any further actions are taken. I would recommend that the Board adopt the following policy regarding the administration of the City's Classification Plan. It is my intention that th a be a,small part of a complete rewrite or a restructuring of the City's Personnel Policy. 4 is I,,J , CLASSIFICATION PLAN Coverage: The most recently adopted "Position Classification Plan of the City of Fayetteville" shall be the classification plan of the City. This classification plan shall include all permanent classes of positions in the City employment unless otherwise exempted by the City Board. Allocation of Positions. Authority to allocate positions to classes on the basis of the nature of duties and responsibilities is vested in the City Manager. The City Manager shall report allocations to existing classes to the Board of Directors for their information at the Board of Director's first meeting following the effective date of the allocation. Establishment of Classifications Authority to establish new classifications of positions is vested in the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors will consider recommendations of the City Manager in determining the need for a new classification of positions. • Page 2 15.02 ADMINISTRATION OF THE CLASSIFICATION PLAN The City Manager or his/her designee, shall be responsible for the administration and maintenance of the Position Classification Plan. Department heads and supervisors shall be responsible far bringing to the attention of the City Manager (1) The need for new positions. and [2) Any material changes in the nature of duties, responsibilities. working conditions. or other factors affecting the classification to which any existing.ar,prcposed,position is allocated. Following the receipt of such information concerning any position. proposed or existing, the City Manager, or his/her designee. shall then conduct the appropriate studies to determine if the classification of the position should be changed or a new position created. When the City Manager has determined that a substantial change has occurred in the nature and level of duties and responsibilities of an existing position or that a new position is required, the City Manager shall: [ 1) Revise the existing position description in conjunction with the Department Heads or prepare a new position description. [21 Allocate or reallocate the position to the appropriate class within the existing classification plan, or [31 Recommend to the City Board that they amend the position classification plan to establish a new class to which the position may be allocated. SALARY OF RECLASSIFIED EMPLOYEE An employee whose position is reclassified to a class having a higher salary range, shall receive an increase only if necessary to reach the minimum of the new salary range: If the position is reclassified to a lower pay range and the result is that the employee will receive a rate of pay above the maximum step established for the new class, that employee will be ineligible for any salary increases until such time that the employee receives a promotion or benefits from a general class -wide pay increase thereby bringing the employee's rate of pay up to, or below the maximum rate established for that class.
