5.3 RECLASSIFICATION
A reclassification is a change in the allocation of a position from its current job classification to a
different job classification as a result of changed duties, responsibilities, and/or authority of a
position. Reclassification will be considered when an employee has been permanently assigned
to perform the primary functions of a different job classification or has been permanently
assigned significantly different duties which may warrant establishing a new job classification.
An employee may request reclassification by submitting a written request, which includes a
justification, to their Elected Official or Department Head. The Elected Official or Department
Head shall respond to the employee in writing within thirty (30) working days.
An Elected Official/Department Head may request reclassification of a position by submitting a
written request with justification and a revised Job Description to the Human Resources.
Human Resources shall respond to the request in writing within thirty (30) working days of
receipt of the request.
If approved or denied by Human Resources, the request may then be submitted to the Board of
County Commissioners, with written justification from the Elected Official/Department Head
for their review. The Board of County Commissioners shall respond to the request in writing
within thirty (30) working days of their receipt of the request. If approved by the Board, the
reclassification shall be effective as of the date of Board's action or other effective date as may
be set by the Board in such action. If the Board denies the request, the matter is closed.
Step placement of an employee who has been reclassified shall be the same as if the employee
had been promoted, transferred, or demoted, whichever is applicable.
