SUBJECT:	Establish a new class series of 9 service-wide classifications in order to consolidate 36 service-wide and department-specific information technology classifications; reallocate of employees from existing classifications into one of the new classes; abolish 36 classes; and place Footnote 24 on 7 classifications. 

SUMMARY
CalHR proposes to consolidate 36 separate information technology classifications by: (1) Establishing a new class series with 9 service-wide information technology classifications; (2) Reallocating incumbents from the 36 existing classifications to the appropriate new information technology classifications; (3) Abolishing the 36 classifications; and (4) Placing Footnote 24 on 7 classifications that do not fit the new classification concepts so they may be abolished when they become vacant.

Seventeen other classifications were considered for inclusion in this project, but were determined to be outside the project’s scope: 1 was placed in the Career Executive Assignment category; seven are specifically assigned by Government Code section 10205.1 for use solely in the Legislative Data Center; four classes were abolished via California Code of Regulations, title 2, section 90 by the Five-Member Board (two Computer Operations Specialist classes at the July 6, 2017, State Personnel Board meeting and two Instructional Systems Engineer classes at the December 7, 2017, State Personnel Board meeting); and five are telecommunications classes operating and maintaining radio/microwave and landwire telecommunications systems which are not within the scope of the proposed classes.

CONSULTED
More than 100 individuals were consulted with on this project, and a survey was completed with over 2000 responses. Departments and State Agencies that were consulted include:

Business, Consumer Services, and Housing Agency 
California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation
California Department of Technology
California Department of Transportation
California Environmental Protection Agency
California Natural Resources Agency

NOTIFICATION
The Service Employees International Union (SEIU), Local 1000; Association of California State Supervisors; California Association of Managers and Supervisors; and Coalition of Communications Supervisors were notified of this proposal. 

SEIU stated they will present any outstanding concerns directly to the Five-Member Board. The Association of California State Supervisors (ACSS) sent a letter outlining their concerns, which was submitted to the Board with the IT Board item package. California Association of Managers and Supervisors; and Coalition of Communications Supervisors did not respond with any concerns. 

BACKGROUND
Information technology changes at a rapid pace. The state’s information technology offices are working with a collection of classifications established at various times between 1968 and 2010 and have had to adapt new technology work to dated classification language. The major issues include: outdated classification specifications; overlapping classification series; inefficient organizational structures; and inconsistent minimum qualifications. 

The state currently has multiple classification series with various levels of information technology classifications, some of which have not been updated in more than 20 years. The classifications do not reflect current or emerging technologies used within the state, resulting in inconsistent and difficult position allocations and recruiting problems. A number of significant information technology areas are not included in the current classifications, such as information technology security, and project management. The proposed service-wide information technology classifications are crafted to allow for use in all current information technology areas, as well as areas or technologies that may arise in the future.

State information technology organizations are facing critical staffing and knowledge issues that can impede the state’s ability to meet the missions of its various line departments. Departments often must turn to private sector companies to supply information technology knowledge, skills, and labor at a significant cost to the state.

In 2015, CalHR convened a large group of information technology subject matter experts (Core Team). This group met to evaluate the state’s information technology classification issues, review available options, identify best solutions, and identify potential minimum qualifications and alternative range criteria for a state information technology class series. The Core Team defined six major domains of information technology work: Business Technology Management, Client Services, Software Engineering, Information Security Engineering, Information Technology Project Management, and System Engineering. These domains are recognized and incorporated into the series specification.

A statewide implementation presentation is being developed that will be delivered to all impacted departments after adoption of the Information Technology Series to ensure a consistent conversion of individuals, classifications, and organizations. This presentation will also provide departmental tools to ease the transition, such as report templates, allocation guidelines and new exam features. CalHR staff will be available to provide individual consultation and answer department-specific questions.

In order to facilitate a smooth conversion, CalHR proposes the changes to the current classifications and the reallocation of incumbents take effect the first day of the February 2018 pay period, January 31, 2018.

CLASSIFICATION CONSIDERATIONS
The use of current classifications to accomplish the classification change is not recommended due to the inconsistent classification structure and the ingrained perception and understanding of specific class titles and responsibilities. Creation of a new broad-based classification series will enhance recruitment, provide recruitment and retention flexibility, and allow for rapid adaptation to new trends and requirements as the field of information technology continues to evolve.

Several classifications in the series allow for the use of college-level coursework to meet Minimum Qualifications or Alternate Range Criteria. When education is used, a minimum number of credits must be in information technology or a closely related course of study such as the study of computing, software engineering, computer engineering, Management Information Systems, Geographic Information Systems, and computing technology. 

Seven information technology classes are not recommended for movement to the new class series and are proposed to have Footnote 24 added to them. The information technology classifications were designed for outmoded technology that is no longer consistent with current information technology equipment and practices. An analysis of their responsibilities and salary levels determined that they are not appropriate classifications for movement to the new class series by reallocation.

For individuals in the Computer Operator and Information Systems Technician classifications, incumbents in Range C are proposed for reallocation to Information Technology Technician, Range A; 75 incumbents would be reallocated by this proposal. Incumbents in Ranges A and B will remain in their respective classifications until they move to Range C, when they will be reallocated to Information Technology Technician, Range A. The Information Systems Technician classification has 19 incumbents in Ranges A and B; the Computer Operator classification has 2 incumbents in Range B and none in Range A. 

It is recommended that incumbents in the other five classifications remain in their current classification until they are able to examine for placement into the new classifications or otherwise move out of their current classifications. CalHR will work with departments to determine an individualized plan for the remaining 12 impacted incumbents.

Classification	Incumbents
Computer Operations Supervisor II	  1
Computer Operations Supervisor I	  4
Computer Operator, Ranges A and B	  2
Information Systems Technician Supervisor II	  2
Information Systems Technician Supervisor I	  1
Information Systems Technician, Ranges A and B	19
Associate Information Systems Analyst (Supervisor) 	  4

The seven classifications will be abolished when vacant.

NEW CLASSIFICATION DESCRIPTIONS
The new class series will consist of the following classifications and levels:

Information Technology Technician, under initial close supervision, typically performs routine support tasks within a limited scope typically involving one unit, function, or domain.

Information Technology Associate, under supervision, typically performs a variety of recurring, well-defined tasks requiring occasional innovative problem-solving within guidelines and a scope that may encompass one or more units, functions or domains.

Information Technology Specialist I, under direction, performs a wide variety of tasks requiring regular innovative problem-solving within broadly stated and non-specific guidelines. 

Information Technology Specialist II is the technical advisor level. Under general direction, incumbents demonstrate a depth of leadership and expertise. Incumbents perform a wide variety of tasks requiring innovative problem-solving where guidance is not readily available. Incumbents optimize and apply architecture solutions for the benefit of the overall organization and play a major role in advising management or formulating information technology strategy and policy within the organization. 

Information Technology Specialist III is the expert advisor level. Under administrative direction, incumbents provide management with strategic technical leadership and expertise to maximize the use of technology within the organization. They also advise on governance and the implementation of and compliance with statewide policies.

Information Technology Supervisor I is the working supervisory level. Under direction, incumbents plan, assign, and review work and may personally perform difficult or sensitive work. 

Information Technology Supervisor II is the full supervisory level. Under general direction, incumbents plan, organize, and direct the work of one or more information technology programs or units and may, on occasion, perform the most difficult or sensitive work. 

Information Technology Manager I is the managerial level. Under general direction, incumbents have significant responsibilities for planning, organizing and directing the work of one or more information technology programs or units, typically through subordinate supervisors, and for formulating or administering organizational information technology policies and programs.

Information Technology Manager II is the managerial level. Under administrative direction, incumbents are responsible for determining or playing a key role in setting organizational information technology policy, formulating long-range information technology programs and objectives, and reviewing implementation and conformance of information technology programs with organizational and statewide policies and objectives.

Each classification’s title – Technician, Associate, Specialist, Supervisor, and Manager –
reflects terminology used for current levels within state service; the titles allow for the classes to be used in all areas of information technology.

The Information Technology Associate classification is designed as the primary recruitment/entry level for the series. The Information Technology Technician classification typically is used for state employees to gain information technology experience; that experience will be qualifying toward meeting the Minimum Qualifications of the Associate classification.
