TO: The Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Carol Bates, Chief Examiner
SUBJ: Charter Civil.Service Reclassification Studies
The reclassification studies currently before the Commissions were conducted by Walsh
Moncada & Company. This transmittal memorandum will outline for the Council's
background, information regarding the Charter Civil Service system and reclassification
studies, covering: ^
• What is a reclassification study .
• Why are reclassification studies conducted
• • Legal authority for the studies •
• Effect on pay of a reclassification study
• Financial impact of these reclassification studies
The Charter Civil Service Commission (hereinafter referred to as the "Commission ")
and personnel system were established by an amendment to the City Charter in 1959.
The Commission is responsible for the personnel system for over half of the City's
workforce and two of their functions are position classification and allocation.
1. What is a Reclassification Study? r
The Charter Civil Service Rules and Regulations, Chapter IV, Classification Plan,
require that the Chief Examiner ascertain the duties and responsibilities of each position
in the classified service. Class specifications which set forth in general terms, duties to
be performed . within the class; supervision received; the extent of authority exercised
over others; major worker characteristics; unusual working conditions; licenses,
1 A classification plan groups all positions in the classified service into classes based upon their duties
and responsibilities. A class is defined as a group of positions similar in duties and responsibilities so
40 that the same class title may be used; the same entrance qualifications may be required; and the same
schedule of pay may be applied equitably under similar employment conditions. Allocation refers to the
assignment of a position to a class on the basis of the kind, difficulty and responsibility of the position.
Page 1
registrations and certifications required and minimum qualifications are prepared by
the Chief Examiner and submitted to the Civil Service Commission for approval. When
an appropriate class does not exist, the Chief Examiner is required to propose a new
class and submit it to the Commission for approval who in turn submit a revised
classification plan in ordinance form to the Council for approval and adoption. This is
the standard procedure for the creation of new classifications.
The Charter Civil Service Rules, Chapter IV, Classification, Section D (2),
Reclassification, require the following actions as classifications change and evolve due
to legal mandates, organizational change, or specific needs of the City:
"2. Reclassification: Whenever the duties of an existing position no
longer substantially resemble the original class, the appointing authority
shall prepare a revised description of the position and submit it to the
Chief Examiner for evaluation no later than March 31st of the calendar
year for consideration during the following calendar year. Reclassification •
may be • requested by the appointing authority or incumbent in any
position using procedures prescribed by the Chief Examiner. The Chief
Examiner or the Commission, may initiate action to investigate the duties
of any position or the entire classified service. No later than April 30th of
the calendar year, the Chief Examiner shall investigate the request and
determine if the position has changed substantially. If in the Chief
Examiner's determination a reclassification study is warranted, the Chief
Examiner shall submit the reclassification request and documentation to
the contracted compensation consulting firm for study and recommended
allocation on January 1St of the following calendar year. If the Chief
Examiner denies the reclassification request, the incumbent may submit
additional information for consideration no later than May 31st for
reconsideration by the Chief Examiner.
In the event the Chief Examiner determines the duties or responsibilities
of a classification have substantially increased, the Chief Examiner will
recommend to the appointing authority that special assignment pay be
granted to the affected employee(s) providing that special pay and that
the.additional duties warrant such consideration.
The Personnel Officer shall annually request funds to conduct
reclassification studies. All reclassification studies conducted by any
compensation consulting firm shall be conducted under the auspices of
the Chief Examiner.
Without limiting the generality of rights of appeal under these Rules, the
determinations of the Chief Examiner or the appointing authority herein
•
Page 2
are appealable to the full Civil Service Commission as other appeals are
• handled under the terms of this Rule, and any denial of
y forwarding for
reclassification study or denial of special assignment pay shall be
forwarded to the employee in writing and time frames for appeals shall
begin to run from the date of any such letter.
Nothing contained in this Rule shall prevent the Commission for good
cause shown from awarding' retroactive pay or other appropriate remedy
to an employee for proper circumstances shown in the event that
reclassification is not handled in a reasonable and proper manner under
the terms of this Rule, or otherwise.
2. Legal Authority for Reclassification Studies.
City Charter, Article XVI, Civil Service, was adopted by a vote of the eo le March 10,
P P
1959 and was effective June 1, 1959. Section 1 of this Article states:
"The general purpose of this charter amendment is to establish for the
City of Yakima a system of personnel administration based on merit
principles and governing the appointment, promotion, transfer, layoff,
- • removal, discipline and welfare of its employees and other incidents of
city employment."
Article XVI further grants the Civil Service Commission in Section 5 rule making
authority as shown below:
"It shall be the duty of the Civil Service Commission:
(a) To make suitable rules and regulations not inconsistent with the
provisions hereof. Such rules and regulations shall provide in detail the
manner in , which examinations may be held, and appointments,
promotions, transfers, reinstatements, demotions, suspensions, and
discharges shall be made, and may also provide for any other matter
connected with the general subject of personnel administration and which
may be considered desirable to further carry out the general purposes of
this Article, or which may be found to be in the interest of good personnel
administration."
As a result of this rule making authority, the Charter Civil Service Commission has
promulgated a set of rules and regulations, (hereinafter referred to as the "Rules "); the
most recent set was adopted April 20, 1995. Chapter IV, Classification Plan, governs the
classification plan and the allocation of positions to a classification and an appropriate
pay range.
Page 3
•
Article XVI grants to the Civil Service Commission and the Chief Examiner authority
for classification and salary administration. Article XVI, Section 4 states:
"A pay and classification plan with job descriptions providing equal pay
for equal work shall be devised by the chief examiner with the
cooperation and approval of the civil service commission which shall be
submitted in ordinance form to the City Council for passage."
The Council has the ultimate authority over pay, as decided in a Yakima County
Superior Court case between the City of Yakima and the Charter Civil Service
Commission. As a result, the Commission can recommend changes in the allocation of
a classification, but the Council is the final determining body in the allocation of a
classifications and setting of salaries.
3. Effect on Pay of a Reclassification Study.
Upon the adoption of the classification and compensation ordinance by Council
approving a reclassification study, the Rules allow the incumbent to be promoted
without competition under certain circumstances or if the Commission determines that
the preservation of merit system principles are best served by requiring competition for
the position, the Commission may require that competition take place. The Rules state:
3. Effect of Reclassification:
a. If a position is reallocated to a class in a higher pay range,
the incumbent may be promoted upon recommendation of
the Chief Examiner and with the approval of the
Commission if such person has permanent status; meets the
minimum qualifications for the position at the time of
reclassification; and has been performing the reclassified
duties for a period of not less than six months. However, if
the Commission determines that the preservation of merit
system principles will be best served by requiring
competition among qualified persons, it may direct that such
competition take place. If the incumbent is ineligible for the
position, or elects not to compete for the position, such
person may be transferred to a vacant position or be laid off
in accordance with the provisions of Chapter XI of these
Rules and Regulations.

• The effect of a reclassification action, considered an appointment to a reclassified
position, on an employee's pay is also governed by the Rules. Chapter IV, Section D (3)
(b) require that an employee's pay be adjusted as follows:
"b. Upon appointment of an employee to a reallocated position, the
employee's pay shall be adjusted as follows:
(1) If the appointment has the effect of a promotion, the pay
shall be adjusted to the step in the higher pay range which is
next higher in compensation to the employee's current base
pay. A probationary period shall be served by the employee
if the reclassified duties have not been performed for at least
six months. 1.
•
(2) If a position has been reallocated to a lower pay range, the
employee's pay shall not be reduced but shall remain as an
authorized exceptional rate until the pay range exceeds that
rate at which time the pay will be adjusted to the pay step in
the range which is next above the exceptional rate with no
change in the employee's annual review date.
• The City of Yakima Municipal Code, hereinafter referred to as the "Municipal Code ",
also governs salary administration. Municipal Code Chapter 2.20 governs the
classification and compensation plan, contents of the plan, procedure for determining
salary ranges, policy for pay steps, policy for present employees, transfers, promotions,
reclassifications, demotions and other salary matters. Chapter 2.20.060, Section 2
governs the effects on pay of promotions and reclassifications and specifically requires
that an employee's pay be adjusted as follows if the employee's position is reclassified
to a higher pay range:
"a. If the employee's rate of. pay in the lower class is below the minimum
salary of the higher class, the employee's rate of pay shall be increased to
the minimum rate of the higher class.
b. If the employee's rate of pay in the lower class falls within the range of
pay for the higher class, the employee shall be advanced to the pay step in
the higher range which is next higher in amount above the employee's
pay before promotion."

The employee's anniversary date (annual merit step increase review date) is potentially
impacted by a reclassification action and Chapter 2.20.060, Section 2 requires:
•
"d. In the case of reclassification, the employee shall be eligible for a
within -range increase on the employee's normal anniversary date. For
employees who have been at the maximum of the salary range for more
than one year, the date of reclassification shall become the employee's
anniversary date for further within -range increases."
The results of the studies conducted by Walsh Moncada & Co. indicated that the duties
of the classifications had substantially changed and that reallocation to 'a higher pay
range was warranted. How that reallocation affects the individual employee's rate of
pay will vary with each employee as required by the Rules shown above. An example
of an adjusted rate of pay due to a reclassification to a higher pay range is illustrated
below.
Example: Employee A's classification has been reallocated from pay range 8.5 to pay
range 10.5 At the time of reclassification, Employee A was at step E (top step) of range
8.5 earning $2,017.56 per month or $11.64 per hour. •
Assuming the Commission recommended that Employee A be promoted without
competition as provided for in the Rules, Employee A's rate of pay would be adjusted
to Step D of pay range 10.5 or $2,100.76 or $12.12 per hour. It is important to note that
Employee A does not automatically move to the top step (step E) of the new range
because that was where he /she was at the time of reclassification. The Rules and Code
both require that the employee's pay be adjusted to the step in the higher range which
is next higher in compensation to the employee's current base pay.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
This memorandum transmits to the Council for consideration and action the
recommendations of the Commission and Chief Examiner on the attached
reclassification studies conducted by Walsh Moncada & Company. The source of
funding for the recommended reclassification actions is the operating budget of the
Division for each affected employee.
