Management Practices Self-Assessment <br /> 2.19 Hiring Process and Final Authority <br /> A policy assigns responsibility for the selection process, determines any forms that must <br /> be completed before hiring is finalized, and appoints an authority to make final decisions <br /> on employment action. <br /> It is essential to have a clear assignment of responsibilities as well as to identify final authority <br /> clearly. <br /> Assigned to: Tammy Donahue Initial Review Date: i 1/27/2002 <br /> Completed by: Tammy Donahue Compliance Date: <br /> Amount Complete: Full Compliance <br /> <br /> ' Documentation/Directives: <br /> PW Recruitment and Selection Guidelines <br /> All supervisor class specifications <br /> Supervisor's Guide <br /> APPM Policy Manual <br /> Supervisory Employee: Chapter 3.1.10 <br /> Recruitment and Selection: Chapter 3.3 <br /> Hiring Authority: Chapter 8.4.2 <br /> Agency Compliance: <br /> By City Charter the City Manager has the authority to hire and fire employees. The City Manger has <br /> delegated that authority to Executive Managers, Division Mangers, and Supervisors. Typically, the hiring <br /> supervisor will make the final hiring decision. Many divisions have established protocols to review the <br /> decision with the Division Manager prior to making the final hiring decision, but the decision rests <br /> ultimately with the hiring supervisor. <br /> Each supervisor classification contains the following language: "Responsible for the selection, supervision, <br /> and evaluation of assigned staff; assigns work and ensures appropriate training is provided; investigates <br /> complaints, recommends and administers disciplinary actions; handles sensitive personnel matters and <br /> recommends grievance responses. Exercises full supervision over employees." <br /> ©2004 American Public Works Association Version 5.0 <br /> 44 <br /> <br />
