Case 3732-1 August 14, 2019

1 KJM:US

LOS ANGELES COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT

TO: THE PERSONNEL COMMISSION

FROM: Karen J. Martin

SUBJECT: Salary and Classification Study: Compliance Related Job Classifications (Case 3732-1)

Recommendations:

I. It is recommended that the Personnel Commission establish a new class of Senior Compliance

Investigator; that the new class be placed in the Personnel Group, Administration Series; that the new

class description be adopted; that the new class be allocated to Salary Schedule 8286.80; that the salary

setting basis for the new class be based on a four-step differential above the key class of Personnel Analyst;

and that the examination authorization for the class be Open and Promotional (Dual Certification).

New Class of Senior Compliance Investigator:

Salary Schedule 8286.80

$8,286.80 $8,742.58 $9,223.42 $9,730.70 $10,265.89 Monthly

$99,441.60 $104,910.96 $110,681.04 $116,768.40 $123,190.68 Annually

II. It is recommended that the Rule 596, OVERTIME, be amended to designate the new class of Senior

Compliance Investigator as Supervisory for purposes of overtime.

III. It is recommended that the class of Compliance Officer in the Personnel Group, Administration Series, be

retitled to Compliance Investigator; that the salary for the class be reallocated from salary schedule

(8286.80) to salary schedule (6689.24); and that the salary setting basis for the class be changed and based

on direct alignment with the key class of Personnel Analyst.

Current Salary Allocation:

Salary Schedule 8286.80

$8,286.80 $8,742.58 $9,223.42 $9,730.70 $10,265.89 Monthly

$99,441.60 $104,910.96 $110,681.04 $116,768.40 $123,190.68 Annually

Proposed Salary Allocation:

Salary Schedule 6689.24

$6,689.24 $7,057.15 $7,445.30 $7,854.79 $8,286.80 Monthly

$80,270.88 $84,685.80 $89,343.60 $94,257.48 $99,441.60 Annually

IV. It is recommended that the Personnel Commission approve a starred rate of $9,730.70 for EN 1056298

and EN 1054343, and a starred rate of $10,265.89 for EN 1019634 based on their prior service in the

Case 3732-1 August 14, 2019

2 KJM:US

V. It is recommended that the Personnel Commission approve class specification revisions for the classes of

Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and Compliance Officer (retitled to Compliance Investigator).

Bases of Recommendations:

1. The General Counsel requested a comprehensive review of the District’s compliance-related positions. Based

on the staffing needs expressed by the initiator of the study, as well as information gathered on positions

prevalent in the compliance occupational area, staff proposed the establishment of two new professional-level

compliance classes: one that provides assistance to the Director in the supervision of staff and investigation

of the more complex cases, and one that implements, coordinates, and monitors the District’s ADA

compliance activities. Additionally, staff’s recommendations included changes to existing compliance-

related job descriptions as well as a salary reallocation for the class of Compliance Officer.

The proposed classification structure of the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is summarized in the

attached organization chart.

2. An incumbent in the new class of Senior Compliance Investigator plans, organizes, and supervises the day-to-

day activities of a small unit engaged in investigating, analyzing, and resolving complaints, grievances of alleged

violations of civil rights, discrimination, gender equity, sexual harassment, and accessibility for individuals with

disabilities and other related policies at locations throughout the District; personally performs the more complex

investigation of complaints in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

The recommended salary for the new class is based on a four-step differential above the class of Personnel

Analyst. This is the salary setting basis that has been established for comparable classified senior professional-

level staff positions in personnel, finance, and research within the Classified Service.

3. The recommended salary reallocation for the class of Compliance Officer (retitled to Compliance

Investigator) is intended to create a more appropriate salary setting basis for the class. The prior salary setting

basis was based on a four-step differential above Personnel Analyst. This salary setting basis was created

when the class was established in November of 1994. During that time compliance officers were assigned to

the colleges and required the incumbents to act as a sole technical advisor to administrators on compliance-

related matters and required incumbents to be responsible for a broad range of problems without the presence

of a technical supervisor. In 2012, the District administration decided to centralize the compliance functions

and moved all compliance officers under the supervision of a Director of Affirmative Action Programs who

was responsible for the administration of the District’s compliance programs. This reorganization impacted

the level of responsibility these positions exercised and aligned them more closely with other professional-

level staff positions such as Personnel Analyst and Employee Relations Specialist. Therefore, staff

recommended a change in the salary setting basis and proposed a direct alignment with the class of Personnel

Analyst as the new salary setting basis, which represents the primary key class for professional-level staff

positions in personnel, finance, and research.

The proposed salary schedule for the class of Compliance Officer (retitled to Compliance Investigator) is as

follows:

Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5

$6,689.24 $7,057.15 $7,445.30 $7,854.79 $8,286.80 Monthly

$80,270.88 $84,685.80 $89,343.60 $94,257.48 $99,441.60 Annually

The proposed salary schedule also falls within the range of salary data for an analogous position identified in

the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, OES survey database.

Case 3732-1 August 14, 2019

3 KJM:US

4. The recommendation for a starred rate for EN 1054343, EN 1056298, and EN 1019634 is based on the

organizational change that occurred when the compliance functions were moved from the colleges to the

District Office several years back, as well as the desire of the District to limit financial loss to the incumbents.

Under the provisions of Rule 591, SALARY ALLOCATION AT RECLASSIFICATION OR

REALLOCATION, Paragraph C.4., this starred rate shall be in effect only as long as the incumbent remains

in the same position and until the starred rate falls within the schedule of the class to which reallocated by

virtue of future upward salary movement. If after a maximum time period of 39 months, the salary rate of the

incumbents’ positions have not been adjusted upward to meet the starred rate amount, the incumbents will be

assigned to the highest salary rate allocated to their job classifications.

5. The recommended title for the new class of Senior Compliance Investigator is descriptive of the level of duties

that are assigned to this position.

6. The recommended title change for the class of Compliance Officer to Compliance Investigator is intended to

more accurately capture the scope of responsibilities assigned to this position.

7. Personnel Commission Rule 596, OVERTIME, defines a supervisory class as one where the primary duties

and responsibilities of the position consist of the supervision of a major operating unit at the Section level, or

its equivalent, and encompass the following characteristics:

• Customarily and regularly plan, organize, direct, and review the work of other employees.

• Customarily establish procedures regarding the operations of the assigned unit.

• Customarily and regularly exercise discretionary powers and sanctions.

• Customarily and regularly do not include the performance of duties similar to those of subordinates.

A Senior Compliance Investigator meets the supervisory class definition outlined in this rule.

Cases 3734 and 3735 August 14, 2019

LOS ANGELES COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT

TO: The Personnel Commission

FROM: Karen J. Martin

SUBJECT: Establishment of Rule 584, Recruitment Differential (New Rule) (Case 3734)

and Establishment of Rule 585, Retention Differential (New Rule) (Case 3735)

(Tentative Approval)

Background:

Recruitment Differential

During the past few years, it has become increasingly difficult to attract highly skilled and seasoned

executives to the District’s workforce. Examples include, chief business officer where three

recruitments were necessary and most recently Chief Information Officer where a second

recruitment is necessary. In researching the matter through inquiries with applicants and other

public entities, a number of contributing factors have been identified -- some District related, some

public sector related, some private sector related, some personal. They include:

1. Reputation of being a large and unmanageable organization

2. Reputation of having a very political work environment

3. Leadership issues

4. Multiple recruitments for the same job – a sign

5. Salary potential: unavailability of bonuses /profit-sharing

6. Funding fluctuations

7. Not perceived as being a cutting-edge work environment

8. Decision making independence

9. Work-life balance issues; uprooting family, family circumstances, etc.

10. Reluctance to take on major restructuring/reorganization projects at a typical rate of

compensation

Under normal circumstances, the approach would be to reallocate the salary for the impacted job

classification to a higher schedule. However, when looking at labor market data, our experience

has been that our approved salary schedule is often well within the salary data for comparable job

classifications. The conclusion is that a basic competitive salary alone, is not sufficient to motivate

seasoned, well qualified individuals to move from comfortable employment and life/family

situations into a new, often challenging position accompanied by the factors noted above. An

additional compounding factor is that the influencing factors are not the same for all job candidates

requiring a flexible solution that can be made to accommodate multiple situations.

The recommended approach of a recruitment differential has been successfully used by other

jurisdictions. It is a percentage differential above the highest step of the base salary schedule for

a job classification designed to entice individuals with the requisite competencies to an executive-

level District position when the accomplishment of mission-critical requirements, objectives, and

initiatives are in jeopardy.

Page 29: LOS ANGELES COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT PERSONNEL … · 2020-06-15 · LOS ANGELES COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT PERSONNEL COMMISSION MEETING Wednesday, August 14, 2019 - 12:30 p.m.

Cases 3734 and 3735 August 14, 2019

Retention Differential

More recently, we have also been facing situations in which highly experienced, long term-

employees are making the decision to retire or leave the District. Again, the reasons are varied.

Most organizations provide for the eventuality of employees changing jobs and retiring by having

a succession planning for critical positions. However, the District has no formal succession

planning process. As a result, critical District operations can be in jeopardy for months while

recruitment for a replacement are in process.

The recommended approach of a retention differential has been successfully used by other

jurisdictions. It is a percentage differential above the highest step of the base salary schedule for

a job classification or a lump sum dollar amount designed to incentivize long term employees to

assist the District in transitioning to new leadership in a critical area of District operations.

RULE

584 Recruitment Differential

Education Code Sections

88080. Power of personnel commission to prescribe, amend and interpret rules.

(a) The commission shall prescribe and, amend, and interpret subject to this article,

such rules as may be necessary to insure the efficiency of the service and the

selection and retention of employees upon a basis of merit and fitness. The rules

shall not apply to bargaining unit members if the subject matter is within the scope

of representation, as defined in Section 3543.2 of the Government Code, and is

included in a negotiated agreement between the governing board and that unit. The

rules shall be binding upon the governing board, but shall not restrict the authority

of the governing board provided pursuant to other sections of this code.

(b) No rule or amendment which would affect classified employees who are

represented by a certified or recognized exclusive bargaining representative shall

be adopted by the commission until the exclusive bargaining representative and the

community college employer of the classified employees who would be affected

have been given reasonable notice of the proposal.

88081. Subjects of Rules.

(a) The rules shall provide for the procedures to be followed by the governing board

as they pertain to the classified service regarding applications, examinations,

eligibility, appointments, promotions, demotions, transfers, dismissals,

resignations, layoffs, reemployment, vacations, leaves of absence, compensation

within classification, job analyses and specifications, performance evaluations,

public advertisement of examinations, rejection of unfit applicants without

competition, and any other matters necessary to carry out the provisions and

purposes of this article.

Page 30: LOS ANGELES COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT PERSONNEL … · 2020-06-15 · LOS ANGELES COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT PERSONNEL COMMISSION MEETING Wednesday, August 14, 2019 - 12:30 p.m.

Cases 3734 and 3735 August 14, 2019

(b) With respect to those matters set forth in subdivision (a) which are a subject of

negotiation under the provisions of Section 3543.2 of the Government Code, such

rules as apply to each bargaining unit shall be in accordance with the negotiated

agreement, if any, between the exclusive representative for that unit and the public-

school employer.

A. A recruitment differential may be authorized by the Personnel Commission and Board of

Trustees for the purpose of facilitating the employment of a new senior-level classified

executive in situations where:

1. The established salary schedule for the job classification along with provisions for rating-

in have proven insufficient to hire an individual with the requisite competencies; and

2. Failure to promptly fill the position will, with reasonable certainty, result in the District not

being able to accomplish mission-critical requirements, objectives, and initiatives.

B. “New” refers to first assignment to the District or an appointment following a break in service

of at least 90 working days from a previous appointment as an employee of the District.

C. Senior-level executive positions for purposes of this rule include the following:

Chief Facilities Executive

Chief Financial Officer/Treasurer

Chief Information Officer

General Counsel

Vice Chancellor of Finance and Resource Development

D. Requisite competencies include knowledge, skills, abilities, personal characteristics, and

accomplishments which make the candidate distinctly well-qualified for the position in

comparison to other candidates eligible for the position.

E. A recruitment differential may be up to a maximum of 25 percent more than the 5th step

monthly salary of the approved salary schedule for the job classification in effect at the

beginning of employment.

Example Calculation:

5th step monthly salary ($20,000) x percentage value of recruitment differential (20%) =

monthly value of recruitment differential

$20,000 x 20% = $4,000 monthly

F. Once approved, the total amount/value of a recruitment differential is not subject to change for

the duration of the employee’s employment.

G. Cost-of-living increases or other general salary increases applied to salary schedules or other

salary differentials shall not be applied to recruitment differentials.

Page 31: LOS ANGELES COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT PERSONNEL … · 2020-06-15 · LOS ANGELES COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT PERSONNEL COMMISSION MEETING Wednesday, August 14, 2019 - 12:30 p.m.

Cases 3734 and 3735 August 14, 2019

H. Payment of the recruitment differential shall be in equal monthly payments or fraction thereof.

I. Payment of a recruitment differential shall continue during periods of approved paid absence.

J. Approval of a recruitment differential is a pre-employment process. Requests for a recruitment

differential submitted after employment has begun or directly by a prospective or newly hired

employee on his/her own behalf will be returned with no action.

K. Both regular and limited-term employees are eligible for a recruitment differential.

L. In recognition of the special pay practice a recruitment differential represents and the potential

for disruption of salary relationships, the District shall submit the following information to the

Personnel Commission for review and comment, as provided in Education Code Section

88087, upon determination of the need to pay a recruitment differential.

1. The name of the potential employee;

2. The position to which the potential employee is to be assigned;

3. The competencies of the proposed employee which support the differential.

4. The mission critical consequences, if the position remains unfilled;

5. The proposed percentage value of the recruitment differential; and

6. Justification for the proposed value of the recruitment differential.

M. In considering the District’s request the Personnel Commission shall consider:

1. The availability and quality of candidates possessing the competencies required for the

position, including the success of recent efforts to recruit candidates for the position;

2. The salaries typically paid outside the District for similar positions;

3. Recent turnover in similar positions;

4. Employment trends and labor-market factors that may affect the District’s ability to recruit

candidates for the position;

5. Special or unique competencies required for the position;

6. Work and/or organizational conditions, environment, requirements associated with the

position; and

7. Other supporting factors that may apply.

N. A recruitment differential shall not be considered as part of an employee's base salary for the

purpose of step placement upon demotion or promotion.

Cases 3734 and 3735 August 14, 2019

O. A recruitment differential shall not be considered as part of the employee’s base salary for

schedule or within three (3) percent higher than the base salary schedule.

P. If recruitment difficulties are anticipated, the possible availability of a recruitment differential

1. The employee’s resignation/retirement from employment with the District is imminent

without the retention differential;

2. The employee possesses unusually high or unique qualifications;

3. The availability of candidates in the labor market who possess the competencies to perform

the full range of duties and responsibilities of the employee's position at the level performed

by the employee is known to be highly limited; and
