Missouri Code of State Regulations › Title 1 - OFFICE OF ADMINISTRATION › Division 20 - Personnel Advisory Board and Division of Personnel › Chapter 2 - Classification and Pay Plans › Section 1 CSR 20-2.015 - Broad Classification Bands

Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 14, July 15, 2024
PURPOSE: The board is establishing this rule to
				  provide for the broadbanding of positions within agencies covered by the
				  uniform classification and pay provisions of the State Personnel Law. This rule
				  provides for the formation and administration of a system of broadbanding
				  applicable to positions within affected state agencies. The Division of
				  Personnel and the Personnel Advisory Board may exercise authority and
				  responsibility for preparation, adoption, maintenance, and revision of that
				  part of the classification and pay plan which includes provisions for grouping
				  of positions with similar levels of responsibility or expertise into broad
				  classification bands in the classified and covered services. This rule provides
				  the framework within which this authority may be exercised.
(1) Standards and Methods. After consultation
				with appointing authorities or their designated representatives, the director
				shall establish and maintain the standards and methods for identifying
				positions subject to the law for broad classification bands and pay band
				designations.
(2) Classification
				Plan. The provisions of
				1 CSR
				20-2.010 are applicable in the preparation and
				maintenance of broad classification bands, except as specifically outlined in
				this section or necessary for implementation. The class specifications for
				broadbanded classifications shall be designed to encompass a broad spectrum of
				positions in generic and agency-specific classes, or may provide for broader
				applications when the director determines that agency and system needs can be
				met in a consistent, equitable, and appropriate manner.
(A) Preparation of the Plan. The director
				shall ascertain the duties, authority, and responsibilities of positions
				subject to the law. The broad classification bands shall group positions in
				very broad classes which generally describe the duties, authority, and
				responsibilities of positions and cover various pay band levels. The
				broadbanded class specifications are not specific to individual positions or
				programs. Two (2) kinds of broadbanded classes, common-use and agency-specific
				may be used. Common-use classes will accommodate functions which cross agency
				lines. Agency-specific classes will encompass functions distinct to an
				individual agency. Each broad-banded class specification will have a class
				title; statement of the duties, authority, and responsibilities; examples of
				duties performed; knowledge, skills, and abilities; and the necessary
				qualifications, provided that equivalent substitutions will be allowed for
				deficiencies in education or experience. Upon adoption by the Personnel
				Advisory Board, the broadbanded classes shall become part of the uniform
				classification and pay plan.
(B)
				Allocation of a Position. Before establishing a new broadbanded position
				subject to the law, an appointing authority shall provide the director with a
				written statement of the duties, authority, and responsibilities to be
				assigned. The director will determine an appropriate class and pay band
				assignment based on the duties, authority, and responsibilities of the
				position.
