Evaluation of Jobs. Each salaried position will be evaluated and assigned a salary grade. Positions are graded by point totals from a point factor comparison evaluation as determined by the Job Evaluation Committee. As required, all bargaining unit positions shall be evaluated by the Job Evaluation Committee which shall include two (2) employees selected by the Association and trained by the Company. An incumbent employee may request to be in attendance with the department management during the presentation of his job description to the Job Evaluation Committee. If there is more than one (1) incumbent employee, all incumbents shall choose one (1) employee to attend. Jobs are not static, therefore, job description should be reviewed annually by the employee’s immediate supervisor or when a change of incumbent employee occurs. In addition, the description of other positions may be affected by any change and should also be examined. Any newly created positions within the scope of the bargaining unit will be slotted into a temporary salary grade until evaluated by the Job Evaluation Committee. Such evaluation should be completed within six (6) months of the creation of the new position. It will be the responsibility of the department supervisor with the approval of the department manager and the Human Resources Manager to request an evaluation of a position. An employee may request a job evaluation if there is a substantial change in his job requirements. The incumbent employee(s) and the immediate supervisor will have a job description prepared for the approval of the department manager. The Human Resources Manager or his designate will assist in the preparation and editing of the job description. When all necessary approvals are received confirming a job change necessitating an evaluation, the evaluation will be completed within sixty (60) days. Should the evaluation not be completed within this time frame, and resulting salary grade change will be retroactive to the date of approval of the need for re-evaluation. In cases where job(s) have been slotted and the grade level(s) require a decrease, the affected employee will have their rate red-circled for six (6) weeks, and at the end of the six week period, their salary shall revert to the appropriate amount based on the compa ratio prior to the evaluation. Where job(s) have been re-evaluated and the grade level(s)/salary(ies) require a decrease, this will not occur until such time the job becomes vacant and must be filled. New ...
