W. Va. Code R. § 135-55-22

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

Section 135-55-22

22.1. An appeal shall not be considered if based on any of the following reasons:

22.1.1. As a method to obtain a salary increase. The new Compensation Management Program should substantially limit the number of classification review requests. Compensation is not tied to a step on the salary schedule or to years of WV government service of the incumbent employee. Considerations for an increase in compensation are not to be made using the classification review process.

22.1.2. Seniority. An appeal shall not be considered if it is based on the employee's length of service with the organization or with the state of West Virginia.

22.1.3. Qualifications of the individual incumbent. An appeal shall not be considered if it is based upon the individual classified employee's qualifications. A classification determination is based upon the duties and responsibilities of the job as well as the minimum requirements necessary to perform the duties and responsibilities of the position.

22.1.4. Anticipated future job responsibilities. An appeal shall not be considered if it is based upon responsibilities that may be included in the job assignment in the future.

22.1.5. Job Performance. An appeal shall not be considered if it is based upon the performance of the incumbent or certain personality traits (e.g., loyalty, dedication, commitment to organization, hardworking, etc.). A classification determination is based upon the level and complexity of the duties and responsibility of the job performed, not the characteristics of the individual holding the position.

22.1.6. Salary within a salary range. An appeal shall not be considered if it is based upon the fact that an employee's salary is close to the maximum of a salary range or the relative position of the salary within the assigned salary range.

22.1.7. Increase in the volume of work. An appeal shall not be considered if it is based on the volume of work rather than the level of responsibilities and complexity of the work.
