FROM:

Human Resource Management

SUBJECT:

The Department of the Treasury requests the creation of two new Trainee titles to

address workweek and compensation issues.

The Department of the Treasury employs auditors in both the office and the field,

each having multiple workweeks. Field staff are compensated at one range higher

than those working in the office. The Department requires the use of two new

Trainee titles to accommodate both types of assignment and workweeks.

Department of Personnel

FROM:

Human Resource Management

SUBJECT:

The Department of Law and Public Safety recently requested and received approval

for the establishment of several intermittent titles for the New Jersey Racing

Commission. These titles were required to classify staff performing inspection and

veterinary functions. The intermittent titles will be used in lieu of Temporary

Employment Service (TES) titles, which are restricted to a specific number of

working hours per fiscal year.

These titles were inadvertently assigned to the competitive division of the career

service. These titles should have been assigned to the non-competitive division of

the career service in accordance with Department regulations.

MERIT SYSTEM BOARD MEETING JUNE 23, 2004

Department of Personnel

FROM:

Human Resource Management

SUBJECT:

The Office of Information Technology (OIT) requests the creation of a new,

Department-specific title series to consolidate the functions currently classified by

the Data Processing Programmer and Data Processing Analyst variant series

assigned to OIT. These variant titles formerly classified different functions; the

functions have evolved over the years to the extent that there are virtually no

distinctions between them. The new titles will be patterned after the existing series

to include the same class code and class of service as the existing levels. Two of the

new titles will be assigned different workweeks to coincide with the office work

schedule. OIT, Shared Services and Classification Staff have collaborated to develop

a series that accurately classifies the work of the incumbents.

OIT requests the lateral appointment of existing incumbents with retention of

existing status, since the new titles are the same class code. Some employees will

receive a one-range increase due to the difference in workweek. However, some of

the provisional incumbents may not meet the higher requirements for the new titles

to which they will be appointed. To avoid an adverse impact on those potentially

affected, we request that all current provisionals be permitted to sit for their

respective promotional exams regardless of whether they meet the new education

requirements. We further request that all incumbents to be appointed to the title of

Software Development Specialist 2 be considered eligible for the next promotional

examination for the title of Software Development Specialist 3, on a one-time basis,

regardless of whether they meet the new education requirement.

All variant titles assigned to OIT will be eliminated once the incumbents are

appointed to the new series. The appropriate negotiations representatives have

been notified and are in support of this request.
