Common use of Class Reallocations Clause in Contracts

Class Reallocations. Section 1. Class reallocations may be requested by the Union whenever it believes a reallocation is justified by the existence of an inequitable relationship between the positions covered by the reallocation requests and other positions covered by this Agreement. If the appointing authority agrees that such an inequity exists, the appointing authority and the Union agree to jointly petition the General Court for such class reallocation. If, however, the parties are unable to reach agreement, the matter shall not be subject to the grievance procedure. Section 2. The parties agree that the procedure provided in Section 1 shall be the sole procedure for class reallocation for all classes covered by this Agreement and no other class reallocations shall be granted. Section 3. The University agrees to conduct a study of the classification structure for members of the bargaining unit. The costs of conducting such a study and of implementing the resulting recommendations, in whole or in part, shall be paid from a classification pool to be established by the University, subject to the appropriation of necessary funds.
