Common use of Classification Study Clause in Contracts

Classification Study. An outside classification consultant, mutually agreed to by the District and CEU, shall conduct the classification study on each completed application. The study shall include a desk audit, interviews of at least the employee and the employee’s supervisor, and a review of submitted documentation. Classification assignment is based on job-related criteria and includes, but is not limited to, review of duties and responsibilities, level of independent decision-making and authority, and complexity of duties. Changes in volume of work alone generally do not result in changes of classification. Once the consultant work is complete, the employee will have an opportunity to review and comment. The reclassification packet (complete with consultant results and employee comments) is then reviewed by the District and CEU Leadership. The packet with added comments from District and CEU is forwarded to the Reclassification Committee. The Reclassification Committee will review the results of the reclassification packet. The Reclassification Committee will take into consideration the recommendations of the outside classification consultant and comments from District, CEU, and employee. At any time, the employee may be contacted for additional information or clarification. The employee may request to appear before the reclassification committee to accommodate information or clarification requests. The decision to recommend approval of the reclassification will be determined by consensus. Each employee will be notified in writing of the Reclassification Committee’s recommendation. If recommended, the recommendation will be forwarded to the Superintendent/President or designee. The Superintendent/President or designee will review the results of the classification study and, if recommended, forward to the Board of Trust for final approval.
