N.J.A.C. 4A:3-3.3 Administration of classification plans

In plain language

The upkeep behind a classification plan, and the one section naming employee relations group changes as something that triggers union notice. The Chairperson or designee classifies new positions and reclassifies existing ones through job analysis, creates titles, abolishes unnecessary ones, consolidates titles where a single one fits a group of positions with similar qualifications, authority and responsibility, and modifies specifications to keep them accurate. Appointing authorities owe prompt notice of new positions, of organisational changes, and of changes in the duties of individual positions, plus updated organisation charts every year. Any position may be job audited. In State service each department and autonomous agency names an agency representative as the liaison on classification and compensation. That representative must notify affected and potentially affected negotiations representatives of six kinds of submission, including reorganisations, new title requests, specification modifications, employee relations group changes, and the setting up or ending of flexitime and alternate workweek programs. A Commission representative verifies the notice was actually given.
