W. Va. Code R. § 133-8-10

Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 50, December 13, 2024

Section 133-8-10 - Classification Review Request

10.1. When significant changes occur in the principal duties and responsibilities of a classified position, it is the responsibility of the supervisor to recommend through established procedures that the position be reviewed. Requests for position reviews also may be initiated by an employee after discussion with the immediate supervisor. Within thirty (30) days from the date of request for review of a job, the department of human resources shall report to the requestor, in writing, whether the reclassification has been denied or approved. The immediate supervisor must prepare a complete and accurate position description form of the duties of the position, but the description may be written by the employee at the supervisor's request. The responsibility for assigning tasks and duties to a position belongs to the supervisor. It is the supervisor's responsibility to document and submit the position description form for classification review when significant changes occur in the principal duties and responsibilities of a position. It is also the responsibility of a supervisor to ensure completion of required forms. The institutional president or the president's designee may also initiate action to review positions. The institutional president or the president's designee has authority on the campus to make classification determinations for institution-specific titles or the slotting of employees under existing systems-wide titles. The president may delegate authority to the human resource administrator for day to day management of the classification program. Management of the program requires adherence to written rules which ensure a uniform system of personnel classification. All classified positions shall be placed on any salary schedule which may be subsequently enacted by the Legislature or adopted by the governing boards.

10.2. A position description form shall exist for every classified position. It shall be reviewed by the supervisor and/or the president or the president's designee on a formal basis at least every three years as part of the position audit procedures established by each institution. The date of each review shall be recorded on the description.
