AMENDATORY SECTION(Amending WSR 05-01-201, filed 12/21/04,
effective 7/1/05)
WAC 357-13-085
How is the effective date of a
reallocation determined?
The effective date of a reallocation
is determined as follows:
(1) The effective date of a reallocation resulting from the director's implementation or revisions to the classification plan is the effective date of the director's action.
(2) The effective date of an employer-initiated reallocation is determined by the employer. Notice of a reallocation to a class with a lower salary range maximum must be provided in accordance with WAC 357-13-070.
(3) The effective date of a reallocation resulting from an employee request for a position review is the date the request was filed with the employer unless the result of the position review is a reallocation to a class with a lower salary range maximum. Notice of reallocation to a class with a lower salary range maximum must be provided in accordance with WAC 357-13-070.
(4) The effective date of a reallocation to a class with a lower salary range maximum resulting from a director's review determination to reallocate to a lower classification than the employer's determination is thirty calendar days from the date of the director's determination unless the review determination is appealed to the personnel resources board. The effective date of a reallocation to a class with a lower salary range maximum resulting from a board order to reallocate to a lower classification than the employer's determination is thirty calendar days from the date of the board's order.
