If an employee feels that he or she is improperly classified he or she should obtain a Position Information Questionnaire from his or her immediate supervisor or the Management Services Department, fill it out, and present it to the supervisor with a brief memo requesting a position audit. The supervisor will review the request.
The supervisor will discuss the request with the department manager within ten (10) working days.
If the department manager determines that the employee is working within the proper classification he or she will notify the employee within ten (10) working days.
If the department manager feels that a classification change is necessary for a more efficient operation, he or she will prepare a Position Audit Request form and submit this form with the employees' memo and Position Information Questionnaire to the Management Services Department. The Management Services Department shall notify the BCEA upon initial receipt and subsequent findings of all audit request originally initiated by the employee.
The Management Service Department will audit the position and make a recommendation to the City Manager within thirty (30) working days of receipt of a completed Position Information Questionnaire.
If the City Manager determines that an employee has been working out-of-classification, the employee will be compensated at the higher rate from the period of time the Position Information Questionnaire and the brief memo requesting a position audit was submitted to the immediate supervisor (with a copy to the department manager) to the time when the employee is either returned to duties that no longer constitute WOC or is promoted.
An employee may appeal the decision of his or her department manager or the Management Services Department by filing a written grievance with his or her department manager within fifteen (15) working days of the decision.
