2) Waive the requirement for filling the Administrative Analyst I/II position through a competitive examination process, allowing the Administrative Technician incumbent, (position no. 2647), to be appointed to the position as provided for in Section 507.1.2 of the Personnel Rules.

Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
At the request of Facilities, a division of the Chief Administrative Office, Human Resources conducted a classification study of a single-encumbered Administrative Technician position. This study employed a point-in-time and whole-job analysis approach, evaluating the position based on core duties, responsibilities, level of work, and required qualifications. The analysis compared the role in its entirety with other positions, considering overall difficulty and performance.
The study concluded that the incumbent is performing at the level of an Administrative Analyst I. Therefore, HR recommends that the Board approve the reclassification of this position and the incumbent from Administrative Technician to Administrative Analyst I.
Upon the Board’s approval, all conditions for the upward reclassification and the waiver of examination under Personnel Rule 507.1.2 will be met. This will exempt the position from the standard competitive examination process for filling an Administrative Analyst I position, allowing the incumbent to be appointed directly.
Additionally, the salary adjustment will align with Personnel Rule 612.2 for Upward Reclassification. Under Personnel Rule 507.1, the probationary period for the incumbent will be waived by the appointing authority, with approval from the Human Resources Director, as the employee has satisfactorily performed the duties of the new classification for the required period.
ALTERNATIVES
The Board could choose not to approve the proposed upward reclassification and corresponding allocation changes, and direct Human Resources to make revisions or conduct additional analysis.
