City of Colton Number: 4.05.340 Administrative Policy Last Revised: 12/21/00 Date: May 2, 2017 Page: 1 of 3 Authority: Appropriate MOUS SUBJECT: SERIES RECLASSIFICATION Signature on file in the HR Dept. City Manager I. PURPOSE: To provide a uniform and effective progression from entry/training to journey level position. II. GENERAL BACKGROUND: The series reclassification is for the reclassification of employees from entry/training positions to journey level positions. III. POLICY: Full-time employees who have been hired into entry/training or flex staffed positions (see Attachment #1) may be reclassified by the City Manager to the next higher position upon acquiring the skills and experience (including satisfactory completion of the probationary period) required for that position. IV. PROCEDURE: An employee in an entry/training position may be considered for reclassification to the journey level position in his/her classification series. This progression is considered a reclassification since it is based on the fact that the employee is performing at the higher level than when hired. Such reclassifications are not automatic, however, and require the department to evaluate the employee's performance. The criteria to be considered when evaluating the employee's qualifications for reclassification should include answers to the following questions: 1. Does the employee have a minimum of one year of full-time work experience in his/her present classification? 2. Does the employee have the required education for the next higher position? 3. Has the employee substantially exceeded the performance standards established for the entry/training position? 4. Have the employee's responsibilities and skills increased in the entry/training position so that the individual is actually performing his/her duties at the journey level?
