Communications -Classification and Pay Results Preliminary results to Personnel and Department Heads. The consultant will present preliminary findings and recommendations to Personnel. The consultant will meet with Personnel, the Manager,.department heads and supervisors of major units to explain findings and present recommendations. Before information is distributed to employees, the department heads will review class specifications and pay recommendations and suggest any changes needed. The consultant must be available for individual meetings with department heads to discuss questions or issues related to recommendations, as needed. The consultant will consider and respond to any feedback or issues arising from the department head reviews and provide Personnel with any updating to preliminary results following the department head reviews. 2. Preliminary Results to Employees. The departments and Personnel will carry out most of the communication with employees. A limited number of telephone calls or meetings may be required by the consultant to explain recommendations. General information to employees and explanation to employees of decisions are considered a part of the basic project. 3. Final results and recommendations to Personnel. The consultant will advise Personnel of final results and recommendations. The consultant, Personnel Director, and Personnel Analyst will inform department heads of final study results. 4. Final Results to Employees. Personnel and department heads will inform employees. Again at this stage a limited number of telephone calls or meetings may be required by the consultant to explain recommendations and address initial employee appeals. Again, general information to employees and explanation to employees of decisions are considered a part of the basic project. Timeframe: Communications completed and final classification and pay information ready for inclusion in the Manager's Recommended budget by May 1, 2008. 1. Appeals For employee appeals not resolved by communications and discussion at the preliminary and final results steps above, Personnel may request additional information from the consultant (either written or oral) as to the basis for recommendations. This will be considered part of the basic project. For more extensive appeals requiring steps such as re- interviews, second meetings with employees, or additional market data once the study is completed, the County would contract separately with the consultant for such work on an hourly basis.
