Iowa Admin. Code r. 11-52.6 - Implementation of position classification decisions
(1) Position classification changes shall not
be retroactive and shall become effective only after approval by the director
Position classification changes approved by the director that are not made
effective by the appointing authority within 90 calendar days following the
date approved shall be void. Position classification changes that will have a
budgetary impact shall not become effective until approved by the department of
management. If the appointing authority decides not to implement the change or
the department of management does not approve funding for the change, duties
commensurate with the current job classification shall be restored by the
appointing authority within three pay periods following the date of that
decision.
(2) Except where
licensure, registration or certification is required, an employee shall not be
required to meet the minimum qualifications for the new job classification when
a reclassification is the result of the correction of a position classification
error, a class or series revision, the gradual evolution of changes in the
position, legislative action, or other external forces clearly outside the
control of the appointing authority.
(3) An employee in a position covered by
merit system provisions shall be required to meet the qualifications for the
new job classification when the reclassification is the result of successful
completion of an established training period where progression to the next
higher level in the job classification series is customary practice, for
reasons other than those mentioned in subrule 52.6(2), or when the
reclassification is the result of a voluntary or disciplinary demotion.
"Completion of an established training period" shall be the period provided for
on the class descriptions for the class. In addition, employees with
probationary status must be eligible for certification in accordance with
11-Chapter 58, Iowa Administrative Code.
(4) In all instances of reclassification
where licensure, certification, or obtaining a passing score on a test is
required, that requirement shall be met by the employee within the time limit
set forth by the director If this requirement is not met, the provisions of
rule
11-60.3 (8A)
shall apply.
(5)
Reserved.
(6) If an employee is
ineligible to continue in a reclassified position and cannot otherwise be
retained, the provisions of 11-Chapter 60, Iowa Administrative Code, regarding
reduction in force shall apply.
(7)
An employee shall not be reclassified from a position covered by merit system
provisions to a position not covered by merit system provisions without the
affected employee's written consent regarding the change in merit system
coverage. A copy of the written consent letter shall be forwarded by the
appointing authority to the director If the employee does not consent to the
change in coverage, a reduction in force may be initiated in accordance with
these rules or the applicable collective bargaining agreement
provisions.
