Management Practices Self-Assessment <br /> Chapter 2 Human Resource Management <br /> 2.1 Classification Plan <br /> A position classification plan identifies objectives, positions, duties, titles, qualifications, <br /> responsibilities, and provisions for reclassification. The classification plan is routinely <br /> reviewed and revised. <br /> Classification involves describing the different types of work performed in any agency. A <br /> classification plan may include grouping every job into position classifications by similarities in <br /> duties, responsibilities and qualification requirements; a position specification for every classified <br /> position including the formal title of each position, a description of the nature of the skills and <br /> abilities required by the work and any special prerequisites for the position; provisions related to <br /> compensation classes, and provisions for reclassification. The classification plan is routinely <br /> reviewed and revised. These reviews and revisions reflect the agency's role. <br /> <br /> ~ Assigned to: Tammy Donahue Initial Review Date: 10/21/2002 <br /> Completed by: Tammy Donahue Compliance Date: <br /> Amount Complete: Full Compliance <br /> Documentation/Directives: <br /> APPM 7.1 Classification Policv and Plans <br /> AFSCME and Exempt Classification Descriptions <br /> AFSCME and Exempt Position Questionnaire Forms <br /> AFSCME Contract <br /> Articles 15.3, 15.4, 15.6, 15.7 (Effective through June 08) <br /> Human Resources Work Plan <br /> Compensation & Classification Section <br /> 'Agency Compliance: <br /> The Compensation and Classification section in the Human Resources Division (HR) oversees and <br /> maintains the City's Classification Plans. <br /> When new positions are established in Public Works, PW supervisors develop detailed position <br /> descri tions osition uestionnaire which are reviewed b HR as to the ro er classification. The sco e <br /> p (p q ) Y p p p <br /> and language of existing classifications are also reviewed and, if necessary, modified, whenever a position <br /> is vacant, work groups are reorganized, or equipment and/or licensing requirements have changed. PW <br /> management staff works closely with HR and provides input whenever changes to classification language <br /> need to be made or new classification description developed. While there are classifications specific to PW <br /> operations, the City's policy is to maintain broad generic classifications and minimize the number of <br /> unique or stand-alone classifications. <br /> AFSCME represented and non-represented (Exempt) classifications cross departments therefore, <br /> classification plans are maintained and managed centrally in the Human Resource Division (HR). <br /> Classification plans are reviewed and modified centrally as directed by the City's Executive Managers, <br /> Human Resource Management Team, and AFSCME Union Contract provisions.
