Due to these changes the City has reviewed the current workforce for impacted positions. Using an analysis tool developed by our Law Department, the City analyzed and documented the status of each impacted position. For a position to be classified as exempt it must meet both the salary tests and the and duties test. The duties test includes administrative, executive, and professional exemptions.
The analysis resulted in the reclassification from exempt to non-exempt for 9 positions and 9 positions being re-graded to the minimum grade for exempt level employees.
