Disputed Classification Sample Clauses
The Disputed Classification clause defines the process for handling disagreements over how certain items, services, or transactions are categorized under a contract. Typically, this clause outlines the steps parties must take if they cannot agree on the classification, such as referring the matter to a third-party expert or following a specified dispute resolution procedure. Its core function is to provide a clear mechanism for resolving classification disputes, thereby minimizing delays and ensuring that contractual obligations are carried out smoothly despite disagreements.

Disputed Classification. Should an employee find inaccuracies in his or her position description or be dissatisfied with the classification, the employee may discuss the problem with the supervisor. If the employee is still dissatisfied with the description of major duties, this may be addressed through the grievance procedures (Article 34). After all outstanding issues with the description have been resolved; an employee still dissatisfied with his or her position classification may appeal the classification or grade of his position or the coverage of his position under the General Schedule. Position classification appeals may be made to the Department or to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). General Schedule employees may appeal to the Department instead of or before appealing to OPM, and prevailing rate (wage grade) employees MUST appeal to the Department before continuing an appeal to OPM. The classification of a position is grievable under the Grievance Procedure (Article 34) only if it results in a reduction in pay or grade (pursuant to 5 U.S.C. §7121).
