Unit Placement. When the College tentatively creates a new or substantially modified position below salary Step 9, the Human Resources Department will notify the President or other designated representative of each bargaining unit, and provide a job description together with information on tentative bargaining unit placement (if any), classification and compensation level. At the same time, Human Resources will create an electronic workspace for such representatives to submit comments on unit placement, classification and compensation level. Comments must be submitted, if at all, within five business days, unless a longer period is agreed to by the parties. If the position reasonably could be placed in more than one bargaining unit, Human Resources will convene a meeting to discuss the issues upon the request of the representative of any such bargaining unit. Such a request must be filed within the original comment period, and the meeting will be convened within five business days after such period. Following the comment period, including a meeting if requested, a final decision on placement of a new position within or removal of a modified position from a bargaining unit shall be made by the Human Resources Director of Compensation and Benefits, and notice of the unit placement will be provided to the President or other designated representative of each bargaining unit not later than the date of posting the position. Either party may request use of this procedure in connection with any vacant Professional level 3 position, whether or not it is new or substantially modified. Positions will be placed in classifications and levels to ensure that employees do not report to a supervisor at the same level, without good cause. If such placement is necessary, a Human Resources representative will notify the Association President of the placement, and the corresponding reason(s). The President will also be notified if, subsequent to the initial placement and due to unforeseen circumstances, an employee is assigned to report to a Supervisor at the same level. Decisions regarding AFT classifications may be appealed in conformance with the provisions of Article IX.R.
