Classification Notice No. -----1742
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 creating five new bilingual Social Case Worker classifications as well as changing the pay grade of Social Case Worker series and Therapists (Licensed, Supervisor, and Unlicensed).
This study addresses the emergent need for qualified Social Case Workers within Denver Human Services. The two core components of this study include increasing the pay grades assigned to the five levels of the Social Case Worker classification series by one pay grade and establishing a new classification series for positions assigned to 70% or more bilingual social case work. Additionally, the Therapist classification series used within the Denver Sheriff’s Department has a pay relationship to the Social Case Worker series, therefore, it is proposed to raise this classification series by one pay grade as well.
