Current through Register Vol. 43, No. 1, October 31, 2024

Section 670-X-7-.06 - Reallocations

(1) An appointing authority shall report to the Director the addition of new essential assignments or the taking away of old essential ones. The Director shall investigate such changes in order to provide a basis for determining the effect on the classification of the position.

(2) The Director shall, on his own initiative, make periodic investigations of any and all positions in order to determine changes in duties and responsibilities of positions as a basis for keeping the classification plan up-to-date.

(3) An employee may at any time make a request in writing to the Director for a review of the description of his position. The request shall set forth the employee's reasons for the review and must be substantiated by his supervisor and the appointing authority. If such reasons appear to be substantial, the Director shall make an investigation of the position with a view to determine the correctness or incorrectness of the allocation and the adjustment necessary.

(4) When it is found by any of the methods outlined above that a position is not in the most appropriate class, the Director shall reallocate it to the most appropriate class using the method listed below.

(5) A position that is reallocated to a higher class should normally be filled by certification and appointment from the open competitive or promotional register. However, if the incumbent has been performing the duties that are the basis for reallocation for one year in a completely satisfactory manner, he may be given status in the new class, if his name is among the upper one-half of those on the register at the time his name was originally placed on the register and official documentation is provided. Provided, however, that if the incumbent has been performing the duties that are the basis for reallocation for five years or more in a completely satisfactory manner, he will be reallocated to the new class if his name appears on the register and official documentation is provided to support the higher classification. In both instances, the employee will be placed into the higher class with status and will not be eligible for either promotional or probationary increase.

(6) If the incumbent does not appear qualified for the new class to which the position is being reallocated, or if he fails to qualify on examination, he may be transferred to a position in the class for which he has previously qualified or be laid off if there is no position to which he may be transferred, and the position filled by a qualified person.
