SECTION 260:25-5-4. Rights and responsibilities of employees
Latest version.
- (a) Employees shall be familiar with the job family descriptor, Position Description Questionnaire if one exists, and list of accountabilities for the position they occupy.(b) Employees shall participate in the processes and procedures pertaining to the allocation of positions and classification of employees. This is a duty of all employees. Employees shall supply timely and accurate information about duties and responsibilities of other employees and positions when requested to do so.(c) An employee has the right and responsibility to file a classification grievance, as provided by law and rule, when duties performed on a regular and consistent basis do not conform to the employee's job family descriptor and level of assignment [74:840-4.3].(d) Employees are entitled to the job family level they are currently assigned [74:840-4.3] and to perform work consistent with their classification. An employee is entitled to the compensation assigned to the job family level for which duties were performed on a regular and consistent basis. This provision does not entitle the employee to a higher job family level [74:840-4.3] and does not prohibit reclassification in accordance with other Merit Rules. Employees have no right to reclassification, to occupy a specific position, or to the continued assignment of specific duties and responsibilities.(e) An employee is not required to perform all of the work operations described in a job family descriptor in order to be eligible for classification thereunder. An employee is not eligible or entitled to classification by reason of performing isolated or singular duties incidental to the job but which are described in another job family descriptor. Employees are entitled to the job family level they are currently assigned. [74:840-4.3](f) An employee normally performs some of the work of higher-rated jobs and some of the work of lower-rated jobs when required. The normal duties of an employee may include assistance to [other employees]. [74:840-4.3] An employee is required to perform the work operations and duties described or appraised as being covered by a job family descriptor pursuant to that degree or amount of guidance or instruction which is considered usual and normal in order to qualify for the classification [74:840-4.3].(g) The fact that the list of accountabilities used in the appraisal of the employee's work performance in accordance with 260:25-17-31 does not include all of the tasks assigned to the employee, does not exempt the employee from performance of such tasks.
