ORANGE COUNTY 126 BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS Action Agenda ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABOIRACT Item No. 6 Meeting Date: JUNE 3, 1985 SUBJECT: ROMASSIFIMTION APPEALS DEPARMENT: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS PUBLIC BEARIN3• Yes _ILN0 ATTACHMENT(S) : INFORMATION COMM: DON WILIBOIT X 505 TELEPHONE NUMBER: NO Hillsborough - 732-8181 Chapel Hill - 968-4501 Mebane - 227-2031 Durham - 688-7331 PURPOSE: To consider direction to be taken on ReclassificatiortAppeals. NEED: Commissioner Lloyd has requested that the Board review and decide on reclassification appeals that have occurred since the Classification and Pay Study approved last November. In accor- dance with the Personnel Ordinance, Article V Sections 8, 9 and 10, the Manager is charged with maintenance of the classifica- tion plan. It is his duty to make such changes in the classi- fication plan as are made necessary by changes in the duties and responsibilities of existing positions, as they are determined through an analysis of job content and desk audit conducted by the County's Personnel Department. Further the Ordinance provides that an employee may appeal his or her classification. Article XI Section 3 states that the Manager's decision on any appeal is final and there will be no appeal therefrom. Since adoption of the Ordinance in 1976, the practice has been consistent with the Ordinance. The Manager has, with full authority, administered and maintained the County's Classifica- tion and Pay Plan. The Attorney has reviewed this issue in the past and his legal interpretation is that the Manager, as stated in the Ordinance, is vested with that authority. IMPACT: RECCVIMENDATION(S) : As Chairman of the Board, I recommend that investigation of and action on the appeals be left to the Manager's responsibility.
