Position Audit and Class Maintenance Studies Sample Clauses
The "Position Audit and Class Maintenance Studies" clause establishes the employer's right to review and evaluate job positions and classifications within the organization. This typically involves conducting audits to ensure that job descriptions, duties, and classifications accurately reflect the work being performed and are consistent with organizational standards or collective agreements. For example, the employer may periodically assess whether certain roles have evolved and require reclassification or if compensation aligns with job responsibilities. The core function of this clause is to maintain accurate and fair job classifications, thereby ensuring equitable treatment of employees and compliance with employment policies.
Position Audit and Class Maintenance Studies.
1. Position Audit Unless otherwise ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction, an employee who believes their individual position has changed due to gradual changes over a period of time in the kind, responsibility, or difficulty of the work performed may request that their position be audited to assure proper classification. To request a position audit, the employee must submit a Job Analysis Questionnaire provided by the Human Resources Department. Requests for study of an employee’s individual position may be submitted no more than once per every 24 calendar months unless the Parties agree that substantial changes have occurred in the position justifying the need for a new audit. If the audit results in a reclassification of the individual position, no vacancy shall be deemed to have been created. Upon reclassification to a position providing a higher maximum salary, the incumbent employee shall be appointed to the reclassified position and the incumbent employee's pay shall be determined in accordance with Section 9.03, Subd. 1 of this Agreement. The effective date of the reclassification for pay and seniority purposes shall be the date upon which the involved employee submitted a properly completed request for reclassification to the Employer's Human Resources Department with a copy to the involved Department Head or Manager. The provisions of this section shall apply only to the incumbent employee who has been permanently certified to the involved position.
