DATE: January 30, 2001
TO: Janice M. Mintz, Commissioner Department of Personnel
Henry S. Maurer, Director Merit System Practices and Labor Relations
FROM: Marjorie A. Schwartz, Director Division of Human Resource Management
SUBJECT: Change in State Classification Plan
DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
A title consolidation for the Manager and Manager, Employment Services title series in the Department of Labor was approved by the Merit System Board on August 8, 2000. The requested consolidated replacement title series, Manager, Workforce New Jersey was established effective July 29, 2000.
As a result of the implementation of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 and the mandate and goals of Governor Whitman's Executive Order 36, the appointing authority has restructured its service delivery system to provide one-stop career center approach to the unemployed and under-employed. The replacement Manager titles will be located in the Regional Adjudication Centers, Re- employment Call-In Centers, One-Stop Re-employment Centers and two Interstate Offices. A significant aspect of this initiative is the integration of unemployment and employment and training functions; thus manager roles are evolving as generalists in the seamless One Stop Service system.
This reorganization has resulted in the redesign of the Manager title series utilized by the Department of Labor. Subsequently, Managers have undertaken comprehensive training for months on the new duties and responsibilities necessary for successful transition to the new office structure.
The transition process has progressed to the stage where it is now appropriate to request the elimination of the consolidated Manager 1 and 2 and Manager 1 and 2, Employment Services titles. Subsequent to this action, the 3 levels of both title series will no longer be germane. Therefore, in the interest of expediency we are recommending those titles be made archaic as was stipulated by the Board approval on July 28, 2000. The recommended effective date of of both actions is July 29, 2000.

The Department of Human Services has requested that the title Manager, Field Operations, Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired (M27-62680), within the Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired be reevaluated.

SUBJECT: Change in the Classification Plan
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
The Department of Transportation requests a one-range salary increase for the title of Regional Electric Supervisor.
Changes over the past several years have impacted the know-how factors of this function. The education and experience requirements were previously increased to address the technological advances impacting electrical devices used for traffic control, direction and highway illumination for which the department is responsible. Incumbents have assumed greater managerial responsibilities, formerly exercised by higher level managers, whose titles have now been eliminated.
We support this one-range increase.
