Personnel Overview Committee--May 19, 2008 2 Burdick about the draft policy. Mrs. Peters said there still is some confusion with exempt employees in her office. Mr. Pawluk said department heads need to be informed of the policy in order to administer the policy fairly in all departments. Mrs. Johnson said training funds are available in her budget and she could work to hire the attorney who drafted the policy to speak with department heads on this issue. On roll call vote, the motion carried with ten members voting "Yes" and Mr. Bennett and Mrs. Hogan voting "No". 4. ANNUAL RECLASSIFICATION REQUESTS, Six positions to be forwarded to Fox Lawson Mrs. Johnson said ten reclassification requests were received by the first Monday in May. The policy states that an employee or immediate supervisor may request a reclassification if there is permanent and significant (more than 25%) change in job duties. The policy states reclassification requests require that a current Position Analysis Questionnaire (PAQ) be submitted with written documentation from both the employee and the department head stating the reasons for the request with a list of similar positions. Mr. Montplaisir is requesting the B21 Principal Secretary position in the Auditor's Office be reviewed. He said the position has changed and 90% relates to management functions with elections.
