Reclassification Appeals Sample Clauses
The Reclassification Appeals clause establishes a process by which parties can challenge or appeal a decision to reclassify a product, service, or employee status. Typically, this clause outlines the steps for submitting an appeal, the timeframe within which appeals must be made, and the authority responsible for reviewing and deciding on the appeal. Its core practical function is to provide a formal mechanism for addressing disagreements over reclassification decisions, ensuring fairness and due process for affected parties.
Reclassification Appeals. A. During the term of this Agreement, any employee who believes her responsibilities more closely resemble the job description of another classified position rather than the one assigned; or any employee asked to perform responsibilities out of classification, may appeal for reclassification to that position in the following manner:
1. Make a request in writing for a desk audit to the Personnel Office at the University. The employee shall be furnished with a classification questionnaire within five (5) working days of said request.

If the desk audit is favorable to the employee, the employee will be upgraded in the higher classification, and her pay shall be retroactive to the pay period closest to the date upon which the appeal was filed provided that the employee is on the certified list and is reachable if such list exists. For good cause, the University Personnel Office may withhold implementation of a favorable desk audit if they believe there is no continued need for the employee to perform the responsibilities for which the position was upgraded. The employee and the immediate supervisor will be informed in writing by the University Personnel Office which tasks the employee need no longer perform.
