N.J. Admin. Code § 4A:3-3.5 - Reclassification of positions

(a) When the duties and responsibilities of a position change to the extent that they are no longer similar to the duties and responsibilities set forth in the specification and the title is no longer appropriate, the Chairperson or designee, shall after review:

1. Reclassify the position to a more appropriate title if there is one;

2. Establish a new title to which the position shall be reclassified; or

3. Take other appropriate action based on the organizational structure of the appointing authority.

(b) An appointing authority may request a classification review by the Chairperson or designee in a manner and form as determined by the Chairperson or designee. Such review may be initiated by the Chairperson or designee. An employee or union representative may request a classification review in accordance with N.J.A.C. 4A:3-3.9.

(c) No reclassification of any position shall become effective until notice is given to affected permanent employees and approval is given by an appropriate Commission representative.

1. Within 30 days of receipt of the reclassification determination, unless extended by the Chairperson or designee in a particular case for good cause, the appointing authority shall either effect the required change in the classification of an employees position; assign duties and responsibilities commensurate with the employees current title; or reassign the employee to the duties and responsibilities to which the employee has permanent rights. Any change in the classification of a permanent employees position, whether promotional, demotional, or lateral, shall be effected in accordance with all applicable rules.

2. Should an employee in the career or unclassified service in State or local service, or an appointing authority in local service, disagree with a reclassification determination, an appeal to the Civil Service Commission may be filed in accordance with N.J.A.C. 4A:3-3.9.
