In the event that the proposed new classification is not in the bargaining unit, the classification shall be added to the SEIU Local 503, OPEU compensation plan at the Employer-proposed salary range. However, if the Employer- proposed range is lower than the classification salary range in another DAS compensation plan, the Parties will negotiate the salary range. (b) Employees may request reclassification by submitting a written explanation of the request, a Human Resource Services Division Position Description Form signed by the supervisor and employee, and all other relevant evidence for the proposed reclassification to the Agency Appointing Authority.

The Union shall be entitled during the sixty (60) day review period and prior to issuance of the Agency decision to meet with the Agency or to present further written arguments in support of the request.

Should the duties of the position support the proposed reclassification, the Agency shall make a determination whether to seek legislative approval for reclassification or remove selected duties within one-hundred twenty (120) days, however, this time period may be extended upon mutual agreement of the Parties. (c) If approved by the Legislative Review Agency or the Department of Administrative Services, the effective date shall be the first of the month following the month in which the reclassification request was received by the Agency. The employee will receive a lump sum payment for the difference between the current salary rate, including work out-of- class pay if any and the proposed salary rate, for the time period beginning the first of the month following the month in which the reclassification request was received by the Agency to the effective date. (d) Rate of pay upon upward reclassification shall be given no less than the first step of the new salary range. If the old salary range rate of pay is equal to or higher than the first step of the new salary range, the employee shall receive a salary increase no less than an increase to the next higher step in the new salary range. At the discretion of management, the salary eligibility date may, in either case, remain the same or be established twelve (12) months thereafter. If the reclassification upward is approved, the Agency may cease paying work out-of-classification pay or adjust the effective date of the reclassification to avoid overpayment of any work out-of-classification pay received by the employee. (e) If a reclassification request does not receive legislative approval or the Agency removes selected duties to be consistent with its current classification, the employee will receive a lump sum payment for the difference between the current salary rate, including work out-of-class pay if any and the proposed salary rate, for the time period beginning the first of the month following the month in which the reclassification request was received by the Agency to the date the duties were removed.
