§ 5.03. Administration of Position Classification.

A.

Each position in the classified service shall be allocated by the Chief Executive Officer to the appropriate class in conformance with specifications for that class as established under this Rule. The Chief Executive Officer shall make position-classification studies of individual positions or groups of positions whenever the duties or responsibilities of existing positions have undergone significant changes, or whenever new positions are to be created. Upon request of the Chief Executive Officer, the appointing power shall furnish detailed information relative to the duties, responsibilities or work assignments of positions under its jurisdiction. In addition to information requested by the Chief Executive Officer, written material bearing on the study may be submitted by the appointing power or the employee occupying the position or by the certified employee organization(s) representing the class(es).

B.

The appointing power shall initiate requests to the Chief Executive Officer for classification studies of positions under its jurisdiction whenever they have significantly changed in duties, responsibilities, or work assignments.

C.

Request for a classification study of his/her position by an employee shall be directed in writing to the appointing power. Such request shall specify why the duties and responsibilities of the position no longer conform to those of the class to which the position is allocated. If the appointing power cannot support the request, it shall be returned to the employee within 30 days with reasons for its denial.

D.

When the Chief Executive Officer has completed the classification study, the Chief Executive Officer shall report the findings to the appointing power concerned, and those requiring change in the Salary Ordinance (Title 6 of the Los Angeles County Code) to the Board of Supervisors. The appointing power shall promptly inform the employee(s) concerned of the classification action.
