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 Environmental Public Health Investigator classifications pay grade and range as well as changing the FLSA status of the EPHI II & III. The Animal Control Investigator series will also be abolished.
The Department of Labor’s (DOL) Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) governs position classifications as exempt or non-exempt from minimum wage and overtime, and this law applies to all positions at the City and County of Denver. Positions that are exempt from overtime must meet very specific criteria, such as paying a minimum salary amount, paying on a salary basis, and passing a specific job duties test. Classification and Compensation and the City Attorney’s Office (CAO) have reviewed the Environmental Public Health Investigator classifications with these criteria in mind and have determined a need to assign the Environmental Public Health Investigator II (EPHI II) and the Environmental Public Health Investigator III (EPHI III) from the FLSA status of exempt to non-exempt. We are requesting the effective date of June 7, 2020 for these classification changes, which is the beginning of the pay period.
Due to organizational changes within Denver Animal Protection (DAP), it is proposed to abolish the Animal Control Investigator classifications.

Provisional classifications resulting from changes to the classification and pay plan may be used upon approval by the OHR Executive Director or Board but use for longer than six months is contingent upon City Council approval.
