Subject: CLASSIFICATION AND
COMPENSATION
1.0 PURPOSE
Policy Number: C10.10
Effective Date: April 25, 2001
Supersedes: Policy C10.00 and C20.00
Approved by:
1.1 The purpose of this policy is to establish and maintain uniform guidelines and
procedures for use in the administration of the District's classification and
compensation programs.
2.0 ORGANIZATIONAL UNITS AFFECTED
2.1 All District employees, as specified herein.
3.0 DEFINITIONS
Classifications are groups of positions, regardless of location, which are alike enough in
duties and responsibilities to be called by the same descriptive title, to be given the same
pay scale under similar conditions, and to require substantially the same qualifications.
Salary Ranges are the range of pay rates, from minimum to maximum, set for a pay
grade or class.
Salary Grade is an organizational unit into which classifications of the same or similar
value are grouped for compensation purposes. All classifications in a grade have the
same salary range.
Comparative Market are those agencies that Executive Management considers most
comparable to the District in terms of function, population served, employee population,
technology and equipment.
Budgeted Positions are_those positions that have been formally approved during the
annual budget process.
Prorated Salary Adjustment is an increase in an employee's rate of pay based on
performance and length of time worked during the performance review period when time
worked is less than the review period.
Y-Rating is the process of freezing the salary of an employee who has been reclassified
to a lower paid classification until the salary range exceeds the employee's salary.
4.0 POLICY
4.1 It is the policy of the District to apply uniform classification and compensation
standards. The District Classification and Compensation Program provides for
the establishment of a wage and benefit structure through the Meet and Confer
process that allows District management and District employees to effectively
Page 1 of 4
Revised: 04/02/01
compete in the labor market and to retain present employees through an
internally consistent measure of relative job worth and personal merit. Every
position is assigned to a salary grade based upon the duties and responsibilities
of that position and the comparative market value of that job function.
Comparisons are most generally made with organizations of similar size and
engaged in similar occupational pursuits within the geographic area of potential
recruitment. The salary ranges are set forth on Exhibit A.
4.2 The General Manager is authorized to employ and assign persons as needed to
occupy budgeted positions and to exercise supervision over all persons in
accordance with the provisions of this policy and to terminate, for cause, the
employment of any regular full time employee employed under these provisions.
All other employees, e.g., probationary, part-time, and limited term/temporary
and contract may be terminated at the District's sole discretion.
4.3 The General Manager is also authorized to employ Executive Management
employees on an "at-will" basis. Conditions of "at-will" employment are set forth
in District Policy No. C180.00.
4.4 Non-management employees are awarded merit increases based upon their
performance as determined by the performance evaluation program. The
specific evaluation process and tools used to determine the actual amount of
merit increase as set forth in various Memoranda of Understanding (Supervisory,
Professional, OCEA, 501 bargaining units) or other written procedures
(Confidential bargaining unit). In addition, employees who at least meet
expectations receive annual Cost of Living Adjustments (COLA) to keep
employees' salaries at market.
4.5 Employees who believe their position is not properly classified may request a
classification study of their position through their direct supervisor. In addition,
the District may conduct a classification study on its own initiative.
Revised: 04/02/01
4.5.1 Classification studies can be requested by employees twice during the
year, during the annual budget planning process and in November.
Those reclassifications approved in the budget may be made effective
any time during the new fiscal year. Classification study requests must
be submitted to Human Resources no later than November 151 for the
November cycle.
4.5.2 Classification studies may be conducted by the District to establish and
determine job classifications as needed.
4.5.3 Classification studies may result in:
4.5.3.1
4.5.3.2
4.5.3.3
Employees being reclassified to either a lower or higher level
classification.
Employees being reclassified to a newly created
classification.
Employees remaining in the current classification.
4.5.4 All classification study findings regarding existing classifications are
subject to approval by the General Manager; findings recommending the
establishment of new job classifications are subject to approval by the
District's Board of Directors.

the classifications and in the amounts, as set forth in Policy C150.00.

5.4.1 Employees are not entitled to a probationary salary adjustment at the

probation period has not concluded as of July 1, the annual performance
based salary adjustment is deferred until such time as probation is
successfully concluded.
5.5 Y-Rating.

5.5.2.1
5.5.2.2
5.5.2.3
If the Y-rate expires before the employee's salary falls within
the range of the new classification, the employee shall be
