Section 126-146-4 - Service Personnel Defined

4.1. As defined in W. Va. Code §18A-l-l(e), a service personnel is a nonteaching school employee who is not included in the meaning of teacher as defined by state code and who services the school(s) in a nonprofessional capacity, including such areas as secretarial, custodial, maintenance, transportation, school nutrition, and aides.

4.1.a. When posting a vacancy for a service personnel position, a county must use one of the service personnel classifications identified in W. Va. Code § 18A-4-8.

4.2. Performance standards shall be developed by each county and clearly defined to enable all employees to understand their job performance expectations. Service personnel shall, at a minimum, be evaluated on the following performance standards:

4.2.a. work habits: observation of work hours, attendance, safety practices, meeting deadlines, flexibility, taking the initiative, and positive attitude;

4.2.b. performance: work judgment, planning and organizing, quality of work, taking responsibility, following instructions, efficiency under stress, and the operation and care of equipment; and

4.2.c. professional learning: knowledge of job responsibilities and participation in job-related trainings.

4.3. Each county shall review each service personnel employee's job classification annually and reclassify all service persons as required by the job classification (W. Va. Code § 18A-4-8).

4.3.a. The county's review of the service personnel employee's job duties and responsibilities may determine that the employee is performing duties and/or responsibilities outside of the current classification. To reclassify this service personnel employee, the county may either remove the identified job duties and/or responsibilities that are not part of the employee's current classification, or the employee must complete the competency test for the reclassification title for which they are already performing the duties and/or responsibilities to show that the employee is qualified to hold the reclassification title.

4.3.b. A service personnel employee may not be reclassified without the employee's written consent (W. Va. Code § 18A-4-8).
