Common use of Appointment to Split Level Classification Clause in Contracts

Appointment to Split Level Classification. ‌ It is recognized that the County requires flexibility in hiring and promoting employees for those class series consisting of two or more levels. The distinction between levels is based upon the degree of responsibility and proficiency that an employee is actually expected to demonstrate rather than the types of duties assigned. Positions may be filled at Level I when they become vacant or by a candidate immediately able to assume the responsibilities of Level II or higher. Promotion from Level I to Level II or higher is based upon certification from the Department Head that the employee is qualified to perform at that level. The determination that a position is at Level II or higher is vested with the Appointing Authority and is not automatic. Even though an employee may be qualified to assume duties of a higher level class, the Department may not have positions budgeted at the higher class or the County may not have enough higher level work to take advantage of the employee’s qualifications.
