| 14. | BROADBANDING POLICY |
|
| 14.1 | The North Dakota University System Human Resource Council is responsible for managing bands (as defined by the US Department of Education). The bands include job families of positions with similar skills. |
|
| 14.1.1 | Complete and accurate position descriptions will be written and maintained by the supervisor. The position description will be used by Human Resource personnel for placement of the position in a band and job family. Within each job family, job duties may vary depending on need as determined by the supervisor. Duties and responsibilities assigned a position may change without changing band or job family. |
|
| 14.2 | The job family title of each position is the official title which is used on payroll records, budget documents, personnel and other official records. The institution may use functional titles for other purposes. |
|
| 14.3 | The campus Human Resource Office is responsible for the assignment of staff positions to the proper band and job family after review by other Human Resource offices within the University system. |
|
| 14.4 | If, after the band/job family assignment decision, the employee or employee's supervisor is dissatisfied with the decision, an appeal may be initiated by the proper completion and submission of forms available from the institution's Human Resource Office. |
|
| 14.4.1 | The appeal must be received in the institution's Human Resource Office no later than thirty days from the date on which the band/job family decision was mailed. All sections of the appeal form must contain an appropriate entry or, if not applicable,
must contain an explanation as to why the item(s) is/are not applicable. All required signatures and attachments must be complete when the appeal is received by the institution's Human Resource Office. |
|
| 14.4.1.1 | The Human Resource Council shall establish a process for appointment by the Council of an audit team or other group to consider the appeal and make a decision. The review may be done based upon written submissions and/or informal meetings. This is the last step in the band/job family appeal process. |
