Under the Collective Bargaining Agreement, the Union is permitted to request job audits on behalf of bargaining unit members who believe that they are working above their grade. The purpose of the audit process is to try to establish with County Human Resources that attorneys are doing work above their grade and should be promoted as a result. If you believe that you are working above your grade, you can do the following:
- Send a memo to Local President, Bob Galhotra that includes your name, job site, grade and seniority date.
- Describe in detail work that you are doing above your grade, including specific cases and specific job duties.
- Attach 2 copies of any motions, transcripts, or other materials that you believe support your job audit request.
- Get all materials to Bob Galhotra at 26th and California by August 31, 2010, the deadline for an audit requests.
Keep in mind that the Union’s involvement in the audit process will be to receive all materials, tender them to Management, and formally request audits pursuant to the CBA. The Union will not be actively involved in “making the case” for individual attorneys. That is your job through your detailed audit requests. Good luck.
