RELATES TO: KRS 151B.035
STATUTORY AUTHORITY: KRS 151B.035
NECESSITY, FUNCTION, AND CONFORMITY: KRS 151B.035 requires the State Board for Adult and Technical Education to promulgate administrative regulations, consistent with the provisions of KRS 151B.035, which govern the classification plan for unclassified service in the Department for Adult and Technical Education so that the same qualifications may reasonably be required for all positions in the same job classification and the same schedule of pay equitably applied in accordance with requirements of the statutes.
Section 1. General Provisions. The commissioner shall prepare and recommend through the Secretary of the Workforce Development Cabinet to the State Board for Adult and Technical Education and to the Governor a classification plan for adoption. The plan shall be based upon similarity of duties performed and responsibilities assumed so that the same qualifications may reasonably be required and the same schedule of pay may be equitably applied to all positions in the same class. Each position shall be allocated to its proper class in the classification plan. The classification plan shall include for each class of position an appropriate title, description of duties and responsibilities, and the required education, experience, and other qualifications.
Section 2. Interpretation of Class Specifications. (1) Class specifications are descriptive and explanatory. They are designed to indicate the kinds of positions which should be allocated to the various job classifications as determined by their characteristics and duties or responsibilities.
(2) Characteristics of a class are general statements indicating the level of responsibility and discretion of positions in that job classification.
(3) Examples of duties or responsibilities are not to be construed as describing what the duties or responsibilities of any position shall be and are not to be construed as limiting the Commissioner's ability to take, add to, or otherwise alter the duties and responsibilities of a position. The use of an individual expression or illustration as to duties or responsibilities shall not be regarded as excluding assignments of others not mentioned which are of similar kind or quality.
(4) Minimum requirements are comprehensive statements of the minimum background as to education, experience, and other qualifications which will be required in all cases as evidence of an appointee's ability to perform the work properly.
Section 3. Official Copy of Class Specifications. (1) The Department for Adult and Technical Education shall maintain a master set for all approved class specifications. Such specifications shall constitute the official class specifications for the classification plan. The copies of the specification of each job classification shall indicate the date of adoption or the last revision of the specification.
(2) The Department for Adult and Technical Education shall provide class specifications for inspection to any employee or the public under reasonable conditions during regular business hours.
(3) Title of position. The title of the job classification to which a position has been allocated shall be used to designate such position in all payroll and other official records, documents, vouchers, and communications in connection with all personnel processes. For purposes of internal administration or for any other purpose, not involving the personnel processes, any office title, abbreviation or code symbol may be used in lieu of the class title.
