RULE 1
(69) Reclassification: The re-classifying of an employee in a position within a certain
classification to another position in another classification, that is more reflective of
the duties and responsibilities currently performed by the employee, as a result of a
study conducted by the Human Resources Department and as approved by the City
Manager. The two (2) types of reclassifications, are as follows:
i.
Upward Reclassification: An employee serving in a position which has
been reclassified upward, to a higher classification with a higher base salary
range, shall be provided no less than a three percent (3%) increase, except
that such increase shall not exceed the maximum rate of pay for the
reclassified position.
ii.
Downward Reclassification: An employee serving in a position which has
been reclassified downward, to a lower position with a lower base salary
range. Employees who receive a downward reclassification may be Y-rated,
as approved by the City Manager
(70) Reduction in Pay: An employee’s salary decrease within the limits of the pay
range and steps established for a classification.
