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 changing the pay grade of Probation Officer I-III, and Judicial Assistant II as well as changing the title and pay grade of Judicial Assistant III and IV.
At the request of Denver County Court, the Office of Human Resources Classification and Compensation Division conducted a pay study for the Probation Officer and Judicial Assistant classifications to ensure competitive pay ranges. Market data for Probation Officers and Judicial Assistants was obtained from a custom survey and published local survey data. This collective market data revealed that the Probation Officer classification series is lagging the market by one pay grade and that the pay grades for the Judicial Assistant classification series are market competitive. However, a comprehensive review of job duties performed by the Judicial Assistant III (NE-13) and the Paralegal I (NE-15) classifications was conducted, and it was found that their predominant duties are essentially the same yet executed in different job settings (law court versus law office). Therefore, it is proposed to align the Judicial Assistant III to the same pay grade as the Paralegal I at NE-15 and revise the classification title to Judicial Associate I and also revise the Judicial Assistant IV classification title to Judicial Associate II. The Judicial Associates would also be reassigned from the Clerical to the Legal Job Family.
