Initiating a Reconsideration Request

Supervisors

The immediate or higher-level supervisor of the A/P position being reconsidered should initiate the request in writing. This may be done with or without the employee's (incumbent’s) knowledge for an occupied position or prior to filling a vacated position.

Employees

An employee (the incumbent) may also initiate a reconsideration request by discussing the matter and proceeding through their immediate supervisor. In cases where the immediate supervisor does not agree with an employee’s request for reconsideration, the incumbent may pursue discussion with a higher level of supervision.

Scope

An employee’s scope of review and resulting determination are limited to his/her own position. A supervisor’s scope of review and any related determination are limited to positions within his/her area. Any decision to adjust a position level is limited to the specific position for which the reconsideration was requested and not necessarily applicable to other positions in that title, level or area unless deemed appropriate by Human Resources.
