Common use of Flexible Staffing Clause in Contracts

Flexible Staffing. The City may choose to flexibly staff classifications within any class series containing an entry and journey level position. Flexible staffing gives the City the ability to hire employees at the entry level or the journey level depending upon applicant qualifications and City staffing needs. An official list of the flexibly staffed classifications shall be maintained by Human Resources. Classifications designated as flexibly staffed would not require an examination nor the establishment of an eligible list for an incumbent to promote from the entry level to the journey level classification. The City retains the exclusive right to determine if and when an employee may advance from the entry to the journey level. Flexible staffing does not preclude the City from identifying certain positions that would be permanently assigned to the entry level for as long as their duties and responsibilities remain within the entry level classification.
