Joint committee releases six new IT classification series

May 13, 2009 (updated May 14, 2009) - After months of focused work on the project, the Joint IT Labor/Management Committee is unveiling six new Information Technology Classification Series containing 18 new classifications that have been signed off on by the union and management.

OCSEA members in IT classifications are being encouraged to download the class specifications and assess where their current job duties might fall. Check out the classification series listed below.

• Business Process Analysis (PDF)
• Database Administration (PDF)
• Information Technologist (PDF)
• Infrastructure (PDF)
• IT Architect Consultant (PDF)
• Software Development (PDF)

During the transition to the new class structure, IT employees will be asked to fill out a Duty Identification Tool (DIT) to explain the job duties they currently perform. Employees will be moved into their new classifications, in part, based on how this tool is completed.

The transition to the new classifications will take place agency by agency. However, no information is currently available regarding agency roll-out plans. It could take as long as two years for implementation to conclude statewide.

For more information on the transition process, OCSEA members can refer to OCSEA’s Tentative Agreement document. See Article 36.05B (PDF), specifically, that lays out the process for change. Also, reference, Articles 8.05 (PDF) and 43.04 (PDF).
