Article 15
Position Classification

Section 15.01

Employees are encouraged to make any comments or recommendations to their immediate supervisors, or other appropriate management officials, regarding the accuracy of their position descriptions. The Employer agrees to review the presentation and advise the employee of the results of its review. The Employer agrees that position descriptions for each new position will accurately reflect, to the extent feasible, the major duties of the employee filling that position. Position descriptions will be amended when the major duties change. The servicing personnel operations branches are available to advise employees and their immediate supervisors as to the proper format and content of bargaining unit position descriptions.

Section 15.02

NTEU will be notified immediately after an Employer's decision to reorganize any part of the bargaining unit has been made.

The Employer will also inform NTEU when changes in position classification standards result in classification changes.

Section 15.03

Employees assigned to positions will be provided a position description.

Section 15.04

All classification errors will be corrected as soon as possible.

Section 15.05
