Flexibly-Staffed Classification. If a position is allocated to a flexibly-staffed classification at the entry level, as assigned responsibilities and breadth of knowledge increase with increased experience, the employee shall have his/her position re-allocated to the next higher level upon the immediate management supervisor's recommendation and the approval of the Superintendent or his/her designee providing the following criteria are met:
1. One (1) year experience at the Level I classification.
2. Overall rating of "Meets Standards" on the Classified Employee Evaluation Report.
3. A passing score on skill test(s) required for the higher classification, if any. Reallocation to the higher-level class shall become effective on the first day of the month following approval by the Superintendent or designee.
Flexibly-Staffed Classification. Employees in flexibly staffed classifications within this unit, upon request, shall be formally evaluated to determine whether duties performed meet the established criteria and justify a reallocation to the higher level of the flexibly staffed classification. Such evaluation shall be performed by the supervisor(s) in conjunction with Human Resources staff, and recommendations for advancement shall require the approval of the City Manager or a designated representative. If advancement is denied, the employees shall receive a written justification for the denial from the Department and shall wait at least six (6) months before reapplying.
