Evaluating bargaining unit positions consists of establishing a clear understanding of the duties, responsibilities, and work requirements of a position. Careful description of the position ensures that employees receive equal pay for substantively equal work.
The comparison of a position’s duties, responsibilities, and work requirements to key job descriptions serves as the only basis for evaluation.
- The following factors determine final ranking:
- Difficulty of the work to be performed.
- Degree of responsibility to be exercised.
- Scope and variety of tasks involved.
- Conditions under which the work is performed.
- The following factors do not affect the final ranking:
- The incumbent’s knowledge, skills, abilities, or previous position title.
- Designation of the hiring list or the maintenance craft’s internal promotion eligibility register or preferred assignment register (as applicable) from which the employee will be selected.
The criteria for evaluating mixed assignments are as follows:
- Regularly scheduled to two bargaining unit positions on a daily basis. When a full-time employee is scheduled every workday to perform the work of two separately defined bargaining unit positions in two different grades, the employee is placed in the position of the higher grade. The duties of the lower grade position, while included in the work assignment, represent extra duties in relation to the official position and do not affect the pay grade of the employee.
- Regularly scheduled on intermittent days in two bargaining unit positions. When a full-time employee is regularly scheduled on intermittent workdays to perform the work of two separate bargaining unit positions in different grades, the employee is placed in the position in which more than 50 percent of the time is spent. If the time is equally divided, the employee is placed in the higher grade position.
- Regularly scheduled on intermittent days to more than two bargaining unit positions. When a full-time employee is scheduled on intermittent days to perform the work of more than two bargaining unit positions in different grades, and less than 50 percent of the time is spent in a single position, the total work assignment of the employee is separately defined as a position and ranked in an appropriate grade.
- Regularly scheduled to perform work in two or more bargaining unit positions in the same grade. When a full-time employee is regularly scheduled to perform the work of two or more bargaining unit positions in the same pay grade, the employee is assigned to the position in which more than 50 percent of the time is spent. If the work is evenly divided between two positions, or if less than 50 percent of the time is spent in a single position, the work assignment of the employee is separately defined and an appropriate title is assigned.
