Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) Position Classification
1) Organizational Structure: The
				organizational structure of the Office shall be as established by the Auditor
				General and maintained on file.
2)
				Positions and Service: The establishment and abolition of positions and duties
				shall be at the discretion of the Auditor General. All employees serve at the
				discretion of the Auditor General subject to the employee rights established by
				this Subpart.
3) Classification
				Plan: The Auditor General shall maintain, and revise when necessary, a uniform
				position classification plan for positions necessary to carry out the duties of
				the Office. The classification plan shall be based on the similarity of duties
				and responsibilities assigned so that the same schedule of pay may be equitably
				applied to all positions within a classification, under the same or
				substantially the same employment conditions. Employees shall be classified by
				position and each position classification shall be governed by a formal,
				written position description approved by the Auditor General. Any change in
				salary or any change to a position description impacting an employee incumbent
				in that position shall be recorded as a personnel transaction.
4) Allocation: It is the responsibility of
				each Director to report any significant changes in the duties of any position
				within the organizational unit. At the request of a Director, a survey, audit,
				or other investigation as may be deemed necessary by the Director shall be made
				to determine the proper allocation of any position to a classification. Upon
				written request of an employee, an investigation as may be deemed necessary by
				a Director shall be made to determine the proper allocation of the employee's
				position. It shall be the responsibility of the Director of the organizational
				unit in which the position is located to notify the employee of the
				determination concerning the proper allocation of his or her
				position.
5) Reconsideration:
A) Within 30 days after receiving notice of
				the decision, the employee may make a request in writing of the Director for
				reconsideration of the decision. Thereafter, the Director shall reinvestigate
				the duties and responsibilities of the position and, if necessary, of related
				positions. The employee shall be given a reasonable opportunity to be
				heard.
B) After the
				re-investigation, the Director shall render a decision in writing and it shall
				be served on the employee in person or by certified mail, return receipt
				requested, at the employee's last address shown in the personnel file. The
				effective date of the reconsidered decision shall be the effective date of the
				allocation decision giving rise to the reconsideration request.
C) An employee wishing to appeal the
				reconsidered decision shall be entitled to a hearing by the Grievance Review
				Committee in accordance with the procedures established in Section
				600.670 of
				this Part.
6)
				Assignments to other Classifications: An employee whose position has been
				allocated to a classification having a higher, lower, or same maximum
				permissible salary or rate may remain in the position, provided however that
				the Director shall determine in the case of allocation to a class having a
				higher maximum salary or rate whether, considering the nature of the change in
				duties, the employee is qualified for the position.
7) Revised Class Requirements: When
				requirements for a classification are revised and the duties and
				responsibilities of positions comprising the classification remain essentially
				unchanged, incumbents in these positions who qualified under the previous
				requirements for the classification will be considered qualified.
