Classification Assignment. Each employee will be assigned to an authorized classification designated by the Employer and will be compensated in accordance with the salary grade applicable to the designated classification as of the date of this Agreement. The Employer agrees to classify/reclassify positions based on the scope and level of duties and responsibilities assigned, the nature and extent of supervision received and exercised, and the knowledge, abilities and skills required with the end result being that all classifications are in balance with the classification for similar work being performed by other College employees. The employer retains the right to assign and reassign work, which may affect the classification assignment of each position.
Classification Assignment. When a vacancy in a classification occurs, for any reason, current full-time employees in that classification may elect to fill the vacancy by order of classification seniority, most senior to least senior. Qualifications shall be a determining factor only to the extent that a candidate must be reasonably qualified for the position as set forth by the district or be willing and able to become qualified within a reasonable period of time.
Classification Assignment. When a new position is established, the Employer shall assign a classification to the position and notify the Union. In the event that the Union does not agree with the classification assigned to the new position, the matter may be referred to arbitration as provided for in this collective agreement. Specialized qualifications and/or competencies as identified and required by the Employer may replace or defer one or more specified qualifications or competencies.
Classification Assignment. If an employee cannot be retained in the same job classification, they shall be assigned to the next lowest or lower job classification for which the employee meets the qualifications as contained in the particular job description.
