GOVERNMENT CODE

SECTION 18800-18807

18800. The board shall create and adjust classes of positions in
the State civil service. The classes adopted by the board, shall be
known as the Personnel Classification Plan of the State of
California. The classification plan shall include a descriptive title
and a definition outlining the scope of the duties and
responsibilities for each class of positions.

18801.1. The Department of Personnel Administration shall designate
managerial positions, as defined in subdivision (e) of Section 3513,
and shall report those designations to the board annually. Any
disputes as to the managerial classification or position designations
may be appealed to the State Personnel Board.

18802. From time to time as it deems necessary, the board may
establish additional classes and divide, combine, alter, or abolish
existing classes. In establishing, altering, or abolishing classes,
the board shall consider the recommendations of the Department of
Personnel Administration. When those actions are taken the board
shall determine in each instance whether positions affected are to be
reallocated to another class or classes after taking into account
the duties and responsibilities, qualifications, performance
standards, and other related criteria before and after the change,
and shall determine the status of the probationary and permanent
employees affected.

18804. Upon the reallocation of a position, other than by action of
the board under Section 18802, the incumbent of the position shall
not thereby gain status in the new class. Change in status of the
incumbent may be accomplished only in accordance with the appropriate
sections of this part and board rules relating to transfer, demotion
or promotion.

18806. The classification title or a code symbol approved by the
board shall be used in all communications relating to personnel and
in all budget and financial records.

18807. (a) The board, by resolution, shall define the term "salary
step" for the purpose of administering civil service laws and rules
that control movement of employees between classifications.
(b) Salary steps defined pursuant to this section shall be subject
to the following requirements:
(1) The steps shall be as close to 5 percent as the board
determines to be practicable.
(2) The steps shall logically reflect the pay relationships among
each group of classifications.
(3) The steps shall maintain servicewide consistency and
continuity in the percentage of salary increase permitted when an
appointment is made without a competitive examination.
(c) A resolution adopted pursuant to this section shall be adopted
at a public meeting and shall be made publicly available before and
after its adoption.
