POSTING IS REQUIRED
Classification Notice No. 1743
To: Agency Heads and Employees
From: Kathy Nesbitt, Executive Director of the Office of Human Resources
Date: October 7, 2022
Subject: Proposed Change to the Classification and Pay Plan
The proposed change amends the Classification and Pay Plan by changing the pay grade and ranges for the 911 Emergency Communication Technicians, 911 Dispatch Support Specialist, 911 Police Dispatchers, and the 911 Emergency Communication Supervisor.
The Department of Safety 911 Communication Center requested an urgent market review of its 911 series of Emergency Communication Technicians, Dispatch Support Specialist, Police Dispatchers, and Emergency Communication Supervisors. This classification series has sustained significant market pressures due to the competitiveness of recruiting as well as the complexity and stress of the duties. The turnover rate for these classifications in 2022 year-to-date is 25.15%, and the 911 Communication Center is struggling to operate with a 21.6% vacancy rate.
