Schedule Page No. 035a~gg~O00~ t#tm ~n U $ A flltl~ltlAL CLASSIFICATION PLAN PURPOSE: A position classification plan is the keystone of a modern personnel system and it benefits both employer and employee. Employees can refer to it for promotion potential in their occupation and can learn what additional training and experience they will need to perform at higher level positions. Employees can know job requirements have been analyzed properly and they will receive the same salary and other treatment as do employees who perform similar work. By using the plan, supervisors and department heads can determine the proper classification for new or additional positions. Councils, Commissioners and department heads can use it for setting equitable compensation for various positions. They can also use it for budget development. Fundamentally, a classification plan provides a structure for dealing with personnel matters and permits matching pay policy with duties, responsibilities, and other requirements rather than to subjective factors. (Local Government Personnel Handbook, AIC 1979). CLASSIFICATION CRITERIA: For purposes of the plan, five classes used. These are: of employment are 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Management Staff Technical and Supervisory Personnel Program Staff Semi-Skilled Clerical and Support Staff Labor, Trainee and nonskilled personnel The following criteria have been used to define and assign positions to this classes: CLASSIFICATION GROUPS: Management Staff -Supervision of five or more employees -Multi-department program and budget responsibilities. management II. -Responsibilities for planning, coordinating and scheduling work. -Other city-wide responsibilities, e.g., overall financial management. -Exempt from overtime/compensatory time. -High liability risk. -Frequent use of judgement, decision making skills. Technical and Supervisory Personnel -Execution of duties requires special skills, knowledge, ability or training. -Single department or division budget and program responsibilities. -May supervise 1 - 5 people. -May or may not be exempt for overtime/compensatory time, depending on position and Fair Labor Standards Act Provisions. -Moderate liability risk -Moderate use of judgment, decision making skills III. Program Staff -May be required to act as leadworker/foreman -Often works independently -Responsibility for limited program elements/services within department/division. -Frequent and direct contact with serviced public -Pay based on hourly rates, earns overtime/compensatory time -Moderate liability risk -Moderate use of individual judgement and decision- making skills. IV. Clerical and Support Personnel -Provides support services to Classes I, II and III -Basic office and communication skills required -Frequent initial contact with the public Ve Labor, Trainee and Nonskilled Personnel -Frequently trained on the job, previous seldom required. -Positions seldom require independent work experience ASSIGNMENT OF POSITIONS TO PAY CLASSES: A series of assumptions underlie the assignment of positions to classes. There are: following That positions within the class should be compensated based on relative responsibilities as defined by class criteria; That pay scales within the classes shall fall within a distinct range; That the City wishes to compensate for experience, education, and training; That the City wishes to remain competitive in the regional and local labor markets. Salary surveys, when applicable, of comparable cities and regional labor information have been undertaken and the assignments are based upon a "mid-range" criteria; Finally, this recommendation is also premise upon the judgement of City staff; That the plan is not intended to be fixed for all time. Changed assignments and changing responsibilities require periodic reconsideration and reclassification of positions. Reclassification implies only reassignment of pay ranges to the position and is not related to a particular individual's compensation. Creation of new positions or job titles is not precluded by this plan. Certain positions are designated by Title I, Chapter 9, as City Officers. The compensation for these persons shall be determined and set by the City Council by Resolution. Accordingly salary ranges for these positions are not a part of this plan. Based upon these assumptions, the following pay ranges are recommended: City of McCall Classification Plan Management Staff -City Administrator/City Clerk -Public Works Director -Police Chief -Fire Chief City Officer City Officer City Officer City Officer II. Technical and Supervisor Staff -City Treasurer -Librarian -Golf Superintendent -Recreation Director -Wastewater Treatment Plant Superintendent -Utility Services Crew Foreman -Building Inspector -Building Maint.
