Last two annual evaluations may not contain a "needs improvement" rating in any category. B. Lead Worker Selection. Lead Workers will be assigned by the Deputy Director utilizing a list of qualified personnel. The list will be in order of seniority with the most senior qualified employee on the top of the list. Beginning at the top of the list, the Deputy Director will assign a Lead Worker for each shift (day shift, swing shift, and night shift). Once assigned, the employee's name will be moved to the bottom of the list. If a Lead Worker is unable or incapable of performing the Lead Worker duties, they will be replaced with the next qualified dispatcher on the list.

If the most senior employee on shift is disqualified from consideration for Lead Worker due to sustained disciplinary action within the past two years, the next most senior employee on shift will act as Lead Worker.

Lead Workers. In order to conduct the work of PCHA and to coordinate the performance of work, from time-to-time, it may be necessary for PCHA to establish Lead duties. • Leads are assigned by management and are able to explain or perform all duties and responsibilities of the employees they lead. • Lead is not a position or job classification, it is the temporary assignment of additional administrative duties to an employee. • Leads should be selected on the basis of their ability to perform the lead tasks assigned and not on the basis of seniority. Experience with PCHA regulations, communication skills, technical expertise and work history should be considered in making a lead assignment. • Lead assignment should be based on business need and should not be viewed as a reward for performance. PCHA will evaluate the continued need for a Lead assignment at their discretion, and/or at 90- day intervals subsequent to the assignment of Lead duties. • If Lead Assignments are removed, PCHA will notify the employee at least one complete pay cycle in advance. • The decision to initiate or terminate a lead assignment should be discussed privately with the affected employee prior to a public announcement. • An employee may decline to accept the Lead position or may step down from being a Lead upon delivery of written notice to their supervisor. In addition to performing all the duties required by the job description appropriate to the job description, Leads are routinely required to: • Serve as a resource person or problem solver for other employees performing similar functions within the department. • Leads should be working leads. Leads should continue to perform the work of their job classification in the department and should be able to assist their co-workers in times of increased workload or temporarily reduced staffing. • Leads should monitor the workflow, prioritize and direct activities of other employees within the department, assisting with scheduling work and task assignment. The Lead worker does not have full formal supervisory authority for staff assigned to projects, however, in order to complete project / assignments must be able to schedule and control the daily working arrangements for a specified group of employees. • Keeps management appraised of overall project performance (i.e. staffing or resource needs, completion dates, change / delays in scheduling etc.).
