Merit Appeals Board <br />October 27, 2022 <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: In addition to that, we hold the departments accountable when they come <br />in to fill their vacancies. They are required to review the class spec. and the position description <br />before we even consider opening a recruitment. <br />This is so that the applicants when it gets time to the interview and selection process they <br />have a clear understanding of their expectations in that position. So, that iswe hold the <br />departments accountable for making sure that it's done before the recruitment is opened. <br />MR. KUNZ: Have the departments, then, as proactive in following and making changes as well? <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: Yes. One of the things that I've done is I've added a "checkbox" to the <br />recruitment—the Request to Fill form that the departments have to acknowledge that they've <br />done that. And we'll—if—we have that opportunity to also review the position description, but <br />we've realized that the departments have taken a more active role in reviewing specs. and <br />position descriptions. And it's, kind of, tied into grievances and complaints that the departments <br />may get because the employees are, like, "Well, that's not part of my job description"—and <br />whatnot. And so, that really forces the department to really pay attention to position descriptions <br />and to be sure it's as accurate as possible. <br />So, the answer is, "yes." <br />CHR. CABANAS: I noticed for recruitment and examso, the department has suspended the <br />written exams? <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: Yes. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Okay. Due to low turnout. But if turnout gets better <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: Yes. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Is it the intention for the written exams to resume? <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: Yes. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Okay. <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: It's a temporary suspension. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Okay. <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: And you'll see the list of—we made the decision at the end of August to <br />suspend written exams but you'll still see them listed because we had to finish up what was <br />already, kind of, in progress. <br />CHR. CABANAS: I noticed the new banners. They're very nice. They catch your eye. <br />Page 9 <br />
