Executive Summary with Rationale and Impact:

Detailed description of the item and why we are doing it. This can be a separate attachment.

The proposed change amends the Classification and Pay Plan by creating the new classification of Self-Represented Litigant Administrator and revising the Judicial Assistant I, II, III, and IV job specifications.

 

The Judicial Assistant classifications were established in March 2008 and not been reviewed since their inception.  This study involved four job classifications (Judicial Assistant I, II, III, and IV) encompassing 124 incumbents in two agencies, 117 employees in the DCC and 7 employees in the Department of Safety (DOS).  The purpose of the study was to review the job duties Judicial Assistants are performing and to update job specifications as needed.  The study also reviewed the pay grade structures to ensure that the Judicial Assistants pay grades were market competitive.  Judicial Assistants completed Job Analysis Questionnaires that were used to update the Judicial Assistant I, II, III and IV job specifications.  As a result, a new job classification is being created, Self-Represented Litigant Administrator, which are duties required by the Colorado Supreme Court.
