§ 32.005 ALLOCATION OF POSITIONS TO CLASSES; USE OF CLASS TITLES.

   The Director shall allocate each position in the classified service to its appropriate class in the classification plan. The allocation shall be based on the duties and responsibilities of the present incumbents of the positions and shall be entered on the official roster cards maintained by the Commission. The title of the class shall forthwith become the title of the individual positions and shall be used in payrolls submitted to the proper disbursing officer, in requests to the Commission for the certification of eligibles, in reports made to the Commission as provided by the rules and regulations of the Commission and in any other official records and communications of the Commission and of all budget and financial officers.

§ 32.006 REALLOCATION OF POSITION WHEN DUTIES CHANGE.

   (A)   Whenever a new position should be established or the duties of an existing position are so changed that in effect the old position as described in the class specification for the class to which it was originally allocated no longer exists and in its place there is created a position which should be allocated to a different class, the Director, in consultation with the department heads, shall report this fact to the Commission and send in on the Commission’s prescribed form a full statement of the circumstances and a description of the duties as changed.

   (B)   Upon the recommendation of the Commission, after a full investigation of the actual and proposed duties, responsibilities and qualification requirements, the City Commission may allocate or reallocate the position to its appropriate class in accordance with the classification plan then in effect.

   (C)   If necessary, a new class shall be established to provide for the new position. The Commission shall likewise from time to time of its own motion make investigations of any or all positions in the classified service and shall, in accordance with the provisions of this subchapter, make recommendations to the City Commission for the allocation of positions whenever the facts are such as to warrant this action.

(1998 Code, § 90-126)

§ 32.007 HEARING ON APPEALS FROM ALLOCATION.

   If an employee believes that his or her position has been improperly allocated, he or she may protest by presenting his or her reason therefor upon such forms or documents as the Director may prescribe. The claim shall be investigated by the Director and the Commission, then referred to the City Commission for its decision, which shall be final.

(1998 Code, § 90-127)

§ 32.008 STATUS OF PRESENT EMPLOYEE UPON REALLOCATION TO DIFFERENT CLASS.

   If a position at any time is reallocated to a different class to correct an error in the original allocation, the incumbent shall continue in the position without tests or other proofs of fitness. If a position is reallocated to another class on account of changed duties and responsibilities, the incumbent may, upon written recommendation of the department head, the passing of a non-competitive examination given by the Director and approval of the Commission, continue in the position. This shall not apply if an employee is actually transferred to another position involving substantially different or higher qualifications, but only in those cases where new duties and responsibilities have been added or absorbed by the incumbent in addition to his or her regularly assigned work.
