			 and shall be informal. The employee, the appointing authority, and all others
			 concerned shall be given reasonable notice of the time and place of hearing.
			 The parties shall have the right to have subpoenas issued, present witnesses
			 and give testimony. A hearing before a Hearing Officer is intended solely for
			 the purpose of receiving evidence either to refute or to substantiate specific
			 charges. It shall not be made an occasion for irresponsible accusations,
			 unrelated attacks upon the character or conduct of the employer or employee or
			 others, or other derogatory matters having no bearing on the charges under
			 investigation. Any request by a party for a Board member or a Hearing Officer
			 as designated by the Board to recuse himself shall be made in writing to the
			 Director immediately. The written request must cite reasons and the legal basis
			 for the recusal. (See Rules
			 670-X-18-.02 and

Witnesses
. The
			 Hearing Officer shall examine the list of proposed witnesses submitted by each
			 of the parties and shall determine the justification for calling of each

			 cumulative of other testimony shall not be required to testify. The Hearing
			 Officer shall examine any objection filed by or on behalf of any witness
			 claiming that the testimony of that witness is not material, is not relevant,
			 is cumulative or if the witness claims a total lack of knowledge of the matter
			 in question. The Hearing Officer shall make a determination of the relevancy,
			 materiality, cumulative nature or lack of knowledge on the part of the witness
			 prior to the commencement of the hearing. The determination to allow or
			 disallow the testimony of a witness shall be based upon an offer of proof by
			 the party offering the testimony of the witness.
(3)
Pre-Hearing
			 Conference
. The Hearing Officer shall conduct a pre-hearing
			 conference. The Hearing Officer shall have the authority to require the parties
			 to act in furtherance of the hearing process, to include but not limited to:

			 crystalization of issues to be presented at the hearing;

			 entertain requests for reconsideration of its decision rendered in an appeal
			 hearing by either party to the hearing if timely submitted within thirty days

(2) The request shall only be based upon
			 newly discovered evidence which would justify relief from the decision
			 rendered.
(3) Such requests should
			 include, by written memorandum or brief, the detailed basis for such
			 reconsideration. The opposing party shall have the opportunity to present a
			 written reply memorandum or brief challenging such basis.
(4) The Board shall then review the written
			 reply in executive session, and based upon such review, shall either sustain
			 its previous decision or grant such relief from the decision as may be
			 appropriate. In reviewing the request, the Board, at its sole discretion, may
			 hear further oral argument, hear new testimony, or suggest supplemental
			 responses.
(5) The filing of the
			 request for reconsideration shall be at the option of the parties, and should
			 not be deemed as a prerequisite to, or hindrance of, either party's right to
			 judicial review of a Board decision.

Alabama Administrative Code › Title 670 - ALABAMA STATE PERSONNEL BOARD › Chapter 670-X-7 - POSITION CLASSIFICATION PLAN › Section 670-X-7-.04 - Allocation Of Positions To Classes

Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 9, June 28, 2024
Every position in the state service shall be allocated to one
				of the classes established by the classification plan. Those positions which
				are substantially similar with respect to difficulty, responsibility, and
				character of work, require generally the same kind and amount of training and
				experience for proper performance, and merit approximately equal pay shall be
				allocated to the same class. The class specifications for the class series in
				the service shall be considered in allocating positions to classes and shall be
				interpreted as follows:
(a) Class
			 specifications are descriptive only and are not restrictive. The use of a
			 particular expression of duties, qualifications, requirements, or other
			 attributes shall not be held to exclude others not mentioned if such others are
			 similar as to kind or quality.
(b)
			 In determining the class to which any position shall be allocated, the
			 specifications for each class shall be considered as a whole. Consideration is
			 to be given to the general duties, specific tasks, responsibilities required,
			 qualifications and relationships to other classes as affording together a
			 picture of the positions that the class is intended to include.
(c) Class specifications shall be construed
			 as a general description of the kinds of work characteristic of positions
			 allocated to a class and not as prescribing what the duties of any position
			 shall be, nor as limiting the expressed or implied power of the authority now
			 or hereafter vested with the right to prescribe or alter the duties of any
			 position.
(d) The fact that the
			 actual tasks performed by the incumbent of a position do not appear in the
			 specification for the class to which the position has been allocated shall not
			 be taken to mean that the position is necessarily excluded from the class. Nor
			 shall any one example of a typical task taken without relation to the parts of
			 the specification be construed as determining that a position should be
			 allocated to the class.
(e) The
			 statement of compensable factors expresses the minimum background in terms of
			 education and experience which would likely be required of any new appointee to
			 a position in the class as evidence of his ability to perform the work
			 properly, and is to be so construed and not as imposing in itself any new or
			 additional requirements upon incumbents of positions. Although they may not be
			 expressed, such qualifications as should properly be required of incumbents of
			 all or any positions, such as honesty, security clearance, sobriety and
			 industry, are taken for granted.

Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 9, June 28, 2024
(1) An appointing
			 authority shall report to the Director the addition of new essential
			 assignments or the taking away of old essential ones. The Director shall
			 investigate such changes in order to provide a basis for determining the effect
			 on the classification of the position.
(2) The Director shall, on his own
			 initiative, make periodic investigations of any and all positions in order to
			 determine changes in duties and responsibilities of positions as a basis for
			 keeping the classification plan up-to-date.
(3) An employee may at any time make a
			 request in writing to the Director for a review of the description of his
			 position. The request shall set forth the employee's reasons for the review and
			 must be substantiated by his supervisor and the appointing authority. If such
			 reasons appear to be substantial, the Director shall make an investigation of
			 the position with a view to determine the correctness or incorrectness of the
			 allocation and the adjustment necessary.
(4) When it is found by any of the methods
			 outlined above that a position is not in the most appropriate class, the
			 Director shall reallocate it to the most appropriate class using the method
			 listed below.
(5) A position that
			 is reallocated to a higher class should normally be filled by certification and
			 appointment from the open competitive or promotional register. However, if the
			 incumbent has been performing the duties that are the basis for reallocation
			 for one year in a completely satisfactory manner, he may be given status in the
			 new class, if his name is among the upper one-half of those on the register at
			 the time his name was originally placed on the register and official
			 documentation is provided. Provided, however, that if the incumbent has been
			 performing the duties that are the basis for reallocation for five years or
			 more in a completely satisfactory manner, he will be reallocated to the new
			 class if his name appears on the register and official documentation is
			 provided to support the higher classification. In both instances, the employee
			 will be placed into the higher class with status and will not be eligible for
			 either promotional or probationary increase.
(6) If the incumbent does not appear
			 qualified for the new class to which the position is being reallocated, or if
			 he fails to qualify on examination, he may be transferred to a position in the
			 class for which he has previously qualified or be laid off if there is no
			 position to which he may be transferred, and the position filled by a qualified
			 person.
