§ 88104 Position Reclassification Eligibility

Key Takeaways

  • •If your job gets moved to a higher level, you might get moved up too if you've been in that job for at least 2 years.
  • •Your job must have slowly gotten more duties over time, not suddenly changed because of big changes at work.
  • •If you get moved up with your job, you can't get moved up again for at least 2 more years.

Example

You work as an office assistant and have been doing the same job for 3 years. Over time, your boss gives you more tasks, like managing schedules and handling small budgets. Your job title changes to 'office coordinator' because of these extra duties.

Since your job slowly got more duties and you've been there for more than 2 years, you can move up to the new job title with your position. But you won't be able to move up again for another 2 years.

§ 88104 Position Reclassification Eligibility

(a) When all of the positions in a class are reclassified to a higher class, the incumbents of the positions who have been in the class for two or more years may be reclassified with their positions by the personnel commission. When a portion of the positions within a class are reclassified to a higher class, an incumbent who has a continuous employment record of two or more years in one or more of the positions being reclassified may be reclassified with his or her position as provided by personnel commission rule. (b) The basis for reclassification of the position shall be a gradual accretion of duties and not a sudden change occasioned by a reorganization or the assignment of completely new duties and responsibilities. Determinations as to gradual accretion shall be on the basis of guidelines provided by personnel commission rules. (c) An employee who has been reclassified with his or her position is ineligible for subsequent reclassification with his or her position for a period of at least two years from the initial action. (Amended by Stats. 2003, Ch. 181, Sec. 2. Effective January 1, 2004.)
