LEGISLATIVE CHANGES

• Section 14, Chapter 2001-43, Laws of Florida
• Required the Department, in consultation with the
  Executive Office of the Governor and the
  Legislature, to develop a proposed classification
  and compensation program
• Broadbanding Report was submitted to the Governor
  and the Legislature on December 1, 2001

5
LEGISLATIVE CHANGES

• Section 42, Chapter 2002-402, Laws of Florida
• Authorized the Department to establish and
  maintain a classification and compensation
  program addressing Career Service, Selected
  Exempt Service, and Senior Management Service
  positions
• Requires the compensation system to provide for
  broad-based salary ranges

6
PREVIOUS CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM

• Classes
• Were too narrow/wide to be meaningful
• Reflected narrow job descriptions more than
  inclusive job categories due to so many unique
  classes
• Pay Grades
• 475 pay grades with different ranges
• Inconsistency with respect to width and intervals
• Were difficult to administer due to multiple pay
  plans

7
PREVIOUS CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM

• Required approximately 30,000 reclassification,
  demotion, promotion, and reassignment actions
  annually
• Limited base pay increases to certain criteria
  and one per year per category
• Lead to the practice of reassigning an employee
  to a class that did not reflect work performed
  just to get higher pay

8
BROADBAND SYSTEM

• The Department of Management Services refers to
  the new classification and compensation system as
  Broadbanding
• Broadbanding was implemented on July 1, 2002
• The Department will run parallel systems for
  approximately one year to ensure accurate and
  timely reporting and system interfaces with
  Office of Policy and Budget, Division of State
  Group Insurance, Division of Retirement, and
  Bureau of State Payrolls

9
BROADBAND SYSTEM

• 1.3 million was appropriated to implement the
  new pay band minimums for affected classes. For
  example
• Direct Services Aide
• Health Support Aide
• Food Support Worker
• Paralegal Specialist
• Park Ranger
• Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor
• Group Treatment Leader

10
BROADBAND SYSTEM

• The Federal Standard Occupation Classification
  System (SOC) was chosen as a foundation to
  restructure the existing classification system
• This system was developed by the United States
  Department of Labor to categorize similar work in
  both the public and private sector into
  occupational groups based on job-related
  characteristics. The Standard Occupational
  Classification system is used by the Federal
  Bureau of Labor Statistics

11
BROADBANDING PRINCIPLES

• Changes to Classification Practices
• Similar work is included in the same Occupational
  Group and Occupation Level
• Super-technicians and supervisors may be in the
  same Broadband Level
• Management flexibility and employee opportunities
  are greatly enhanced - i.e., managers can now
  recognize performance and increase pay without
  the need to promote or reclassify

12
BROADBAND STRUCTURE
3,300 Classes Consolidated into 144 Broadband
Levels
23 Job Families 38 Occupational Groups 228
Occupations 144 Broadband Levels
13
BROADBAND STRUCTURE

• Job Family - one or more occupational groups
• Occupational Group - all occupations which are
  sufficiently similar in kind of work
• Occupation - all positions which are sufficiently
  similar in knowledge, skills, and abilities
• Broadband Level - all occupations in an
  occupational group which have the same level of
  difficulty or responsibility and have the same
  pay band
