Effective - 28 Aug 2018, 2 histories
36.120. Changes in or reallocation of positions. — 1. Before establishing a new position in divisions of the service subject to this chapter pursuant to subsection 1 of section 36.030 or any new position in a department or agency of the executive branch of state government subject to this section pursuant to section 36.031, or before making any permanent and substantial change of the duties, authority or responsibilities of any such position, an appointing authority shall notify the director in writing of the appointing authority's intention to do so, except where the positions may be allocated by the appointing authority.
2. The director may at any time allocate any new position to a class, or change the allocation of any position to a class, or recommend to the board changes in the classification plan. Any change in the classification plan recommended by the director shall take effect when approved by the board, or on the ninetieth day after it is recommended to the board if prior thereto the board has not approved it. In case of necessity requiring the immediate establishment of a new class, the director may establish such a class on an interim basis pending approval of the class by the board as recommended by the director.
3. When the allocation of a position to a class is changed, the director shall notify the appointing authority. If allocation authority is delegated, the appointing authority shall notify the director of any changes in the allocation. If the position is filled at the time of reallocation to a class, the appointing authority shall immediately notify the incumbent of the position regarding the allocation change. If the incumbent does not agree with the new allocation, the incumbent may submit to the director a request for a review of the allocation of the position.
4. If any change is made in the classification plan by which a class of positions is divided, altered, or abolished, or classes are combined, the director shall forthwith reallocate the positions affected to their appropriate classes in the amended classification plan. An employee who is occupying a position reallocated to a different class shall, subject to the regulations, be given the same status in the new class as previously held in the class from which his or her position is reallocated.
5. After a class of positions has been approved by the board, the director is authorized to make such changes in the class title or in the statement of duties and qualifications for the class as the director finds necessary for current maintenance of the classification plan; provided, however, that changes which materially affect the nature and level of a class or which involve a change in salary range for the class shall be approved by the board.
