Common use of NEW OR REVISED JOB CLASSIFICATIONS Clause in Contracts

NEW OR REVISED JOB CLASSIFICATIONS. In the event the School District creates a new classification, or permanently, substantially and materially changes, alters or revises an existing job description, the parties shall meet to determine whether the new classification or revised classification should be included or excluded from the bargaining unit. If the parties cannot agree, then the question may be submitted to the Employment Relations Commission for determination. If the new classification or revised classification is determined to be in the bargaining unit, the Director of Human Resources shall assign the classification to a pay rate. Notice shall be given to the Union. In the absence of any objection from the Union, within ten (10) working days of such notice, the classification and the rate of pay shall be submitted to the Board for approval. In the event of an objection, the parties shall meet and negotiate for a suitable pay rate for the classification. The new or revised classification may be implemented and filled pending resolution of the above matters at the pay rate proposed by the District. Should a higher rate be negotiated, such higher rate shall be paid retroactively to the date the position was filled.
