Background
In October, 2014, a request to conduct a classification study of the position of Risk Management Technician was received by the Director of Human Resources. In response to that request, a study was completed in accordance with Part 3 - Position Classification of the County Personnel Rules. The methodology employed in conducting this study was as follows:
- Reviewed and analyzed the Position Classification Questionnaire, the current classification specification, classification specifications from other agencies, and additional documents that were submitted by the current Risk Management Technician employees.
- Performed a desk audit interview of the employees in the Risk Management Technician classification for clarification and additional information.
- Analyzed the scope and complexity of the responsibilities and tasks performed and the skills, knowledge and abilities required.
- Developed findings and recommendations based on the analysis of the above information.
Reason for Recommendation
The classification of Risk Management Technician no longer fully reflects the work being performed by the two (2) current Risk Management Technician employees. It is recommended that the incumbents be reclassified to Risk Management Analyst I to reflect the correct level of independent decision making and complex responsibility already being performed by the incumbents. It is also recommended that, in accordance with Part 306.1 of the Personnel Rules, the examination process for promotion to this higher position be waived, and the incumbents continue to perform the work of the position at the appropriate step of said salary range.
