The report was comprised of a list of incumbent PANS members involved in the December 26, 2004 classification reassignment and was provided to the Board as notice of the action for presentation to and affirmation of the Board. Board President Robles-Wong explained that he was surprised by how many employees were affected by the reclassification issue from last meeting. He stated that he would like job title assignments to be confirmed so that there will not be a question years from now that each person who was reclassified has permanent status. Executive Secretary Willis explained that there were no changes in qualifications or salary ranges, and there were no promotions given. Board President Robles-Wong stated that what needed to be clarified was that the position was filled without an exam process, and that it is legitimate because employees were "reassigned". Executive Secretary Willis stated that there is no definition for reassignment under the Civil Service Rules. The individuals were broken out separately into new classes with the same qualifications. Member Rich asked if an employee can move to another specialty when they are reclassified under the new, broader class. Jill Kovacs explained that the certification is assigned to one specialty or the other and is not transferable. Board President Robles-Wong indicated that there are two ways to be placed in a new job class, you can either take an exam and be placed into it by promotion or demotion, or you have to be placed into it by the Civil Service Board. Executive Secretary Willis presented the Board with a flow chart of the reclassification process. She explained that a reclassification is only brought to the Civil Service Board when a person has been doing the job duties for one year and is given a promotion without an exam. Member Rich asked if seniority is affected by reclassification. Executive Secretary Willis explained that seniority is based upon total time with | CivilServiceBoard/2006-11-28.pdf |
