The Personnel Department conducts position classification reviews on a scheduled basis,upon the request of the employee or employee's supervisor as necessary to recognize changes in duties and prior to establishing every new position. For a classification review, an official position description is completed and submitted to the Personnel Department. The Personnel Department studies the position's duties and relates these to other County positions. As required, Personnel conducts a job audit,job factor analysis and a labor market salary survey,prior to making a classification and/or pay determination. The Personnel Department maintains the official Orange County Classification and Pay Plan which includes a salary schedule, list of classes and assigned salary grades, and class specification for every class in the plan. Personnel recommends any proposed amendment to the Classification and Pay Plan to the County Manager who presents this to the Board of County Commissioners for action as appropriate. The Classification and Pay Plan is updated annually or as necessary. The Personnel Department assures that minimum requirements (including physical requirements) stated in class specifications are job-related and accurately reflect the requirements to perform the essential functions of positions in the class.
