Section 4-07-04-09 - Pay grade review process, pay grade exceptions, and notifications

Upon receipt of a pay grade review request, human resource management services will initiate review of the pay grade or classification as appropriate. Human resource management services may assign a pay grade that is higher than that determined by the application of the class evaluation system. This may be done when the pay grade assigned to a class has not resolved significant problems in the recruiting or retention of qualified individuals for a class. When a pay grade exception is assigned to a class, the grade must be identified as such and the appointing authority and all employees in the class must be notified. If the review is not completed within sixty calendar days, human resource management services will notify the appointing authority of the reasons for an extension and the anticipated schedule for completion of the review. If either the employee or appointing authority disagree with the decision, an appeal may be made as provided in chapter 59.5-03-02.1.
