Bill > H7217

This bill mandates that the Office of Personnel Administration (OPA), which handles state employee classifications, must update its guide for analyzing job roles (desk audits) and creating job descriptions (class specifications). Specifically, the OPA's guide needs to be changed so that an employee's lack of direct supervision over other employees will no longer be a barrier to receiving a job classification upgrade, provided they meet all other criteria for that upgrade through the desk audit process. This change aims to ensure that employees are evaluated based on the full scope of their responsibilities and qualifications, not solely on whether they manage others, and the bill will become law immediately upon its approval.
