6.2 Classification Changes

  1. When the Department of Human Resources (CalHR) or another department seeks (1) to establish a new classification and assigns it to Bargaining Unit 9, or (2) modifies an existing Bargaining Unit 9 classification, CalHR shall inform PECG of the proposal during the preparatory stages of the proposals. PECG may request to meet with CalHR regarding these classification proposals. Such meetings shall be for the purpose of informally discussing the classification proposal and for PECG to provide input. Upon request, CalHR shall furnish PECG with drafts of the proposed classification specifications.

  2. The CalHR shall notify and submit to PECG the final classification proposal at least 20 work days prior to the date the SPB is scheduled to adopt it.

  3. If PECG requests in writing within 10 workdays of receipt of the notice, CalHR shall meet with PECG to discuss the final proposal. If PECG does not respond to the notice, or if PECG does not meet with CalHR within five (5) workdays from their date of request, the classification proposal shall be deemed agreeable to PECG and be placed on SPB’s consent calendar.

  4. The CalHR shall meet and confer, if requested in writing by PECG, within ten (10) working days from the date the SPB approved the classification change, regarding the compensation of the classification. To the extent that a classification change necessitates other change which falls within the scope of negotiations, the State shall notify PECG and the parties shall bargain the impact upon request by PECG.
