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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

BROADBAND STRUCTURE

23 Job Families

38 Occupational Groups

228 Occupations
