Pennsylvania Code



Subchapter D. RECLASSIFICATIONS BY THE OFFICE OF ADMINISTRATION


Sec.


603a.22.    Reclassifications.
603a.23.    Effect of reclassification on status.

§ 603a.22. Reclassifications.

 (a)  Reclassifications required. When an employee’s job duties change or the Board changes a job classification and a reallocation of the position becomes necessary, the employee shall be reclassified to the new job classification if the employee meets the established requirements. If the reclassification is to a lower-level job classification, it will not be construed as a demotion and the reclassified employee shall be credited with seniority acquired in the higher-level job classification.

 (b)  Request for classification review. When an appointing authority believes that a reclassification is necessary, the appointing authority shall submit a written request for a classification review to the Office of Administration, which shall include justification as to why reclassification of the position is necessary.

 (c)  Approval. The Office of Administration will approve requests for reclassification in accordance with the act and this subchapter.

 (d)  Denial. The Office of Administration may deny an appointing authority’s request for reclassification if it appears the request is designed to circumvent merit system principles as set forth in the act and this subpart, or is otherwise unnecessary.

§ 603a.23. Effect of reclassification on status.

 An employee reclassified laterally or to a lower-level job classification under this subchapter shall retain their current status.
