Subject:  Mid-Management Reduction Program - Exempt Employees


Recently developed mid-management plans included exempt (noncivil service) employees in their figures.  As in the case of some managerial designated civil service employees, some exempt managers are at a policy level which makes them managerial in nature, but without direct supervisory responsibili- ties.  These employees were not counted as managerial.  In addition, any supervisorial employees who do not supervise should not have been counted as supervisorial.

PML 94-20 directed the CBID designations of employees who do not manage or supervise to be changed as appropriate.  While the PML did not specifically include reference to exempts, it was not intended to exclude them; however, to date only a few agencies have redesignated their exempts.  In order to be consistent with the Mid-Management Reduction Program, it is necessary that such exempt employees who are currently designated excluded managerial (E99) but who do not supervise should be moved to the new E79 designation effective June 1, 1994.  The benefits that these employees receive will not change under the E79 designation.  (This means they will continue on the Personal Leave Program.)  In addition, any exempt nonsupervisorial employees should be redesignated from E98 to E97 on June 1.  (Since currently there is no benefit difference for exempt E97 and E98 employees, there is no need to use one of the new CBID codes.)

Since most exempt classes are one-position classes, the Department of Person- nel Administration (DPA) needs to change the CBID codes in the Exempt Pay Scale for any exempt classes where positions are redesignated.  As a result, it is necessary for each State agency to report these CBID changes to the Exempt Unit at DPA.  Please prepare a memorandum to the DPA Exempt Unit with the information shown in the attached format.

This information is needed by July 29, 1994 at the latest.  Though this is a short deadline, most agencies have relative few exempts and this should not be an undue burden.  Questions on this matter should be referred to me at the number below or Susan Tune of the Exempt Unit at (916) 324-0435.
