Common use of Reclassification of Positions Clause in Contracts

Reclassification of Positions. If the duties assigned to an individual employee are substantially changed in terms of level of difficulty or responsibility, he/she or the Union may request that the appropriate Human Resources Department initiate a job review of his/her job to determine correct bargaining unit classification for that employee's position. Such requests shall be in writing on forms supplied by the Employer. A copy of all such requests not initiated by the Union shall be provided to the Union. Upon receipt of a properly completed job review form, the appropriate Human Resources Department shall complete a review and render its decision to reclassify or not reclassify the position in writing to the employee, with a copy to the Union, within forty-five (45) calendar days. When a position is reclassified, the salary of the employee shall be adjusted effective upon the first day of the payroll period after the receipt of the properly completed job review request form by the appropriate Human Resources Department. Salary in the new classification shall be as determined in Article 27, Section 5. Classification seniority in the new classification shall also begin on that date. Positions which are reclassified, as a result of a job review and/or an organizational change, to existing class titles, shall remain within the scope of the bargaining unit, unless the reclassification constitutes a promotion to an existing classification outside the bargaining unit. If the new classification is established as a result of a reclassification and/or an organizational change and a dispute develops over the inclusion or exclusion of the class(es) in the bargaining unit, the parties agree to resolve the dispute in accordance with Article 2, Section 2, Recognition. However, the employees involved in the dispute shall remain covered by the provisions of this Agreement until a decision is issued by the Bureau of Mediation Services. When any classification not listed in the wage schedule of this Agreement is established, the parties agree to meet and negotiate on the appropriate salary range. If the parties are unable to reach an agreement, the Employer shall designate the rate structure for the classification. The dispute shall be resolved by submittal to arbitration upon the request of either party. The Employer agrees to inform the Union in the event a reclassification of any position results in the position being moved outside the bargaining unit.
