410. New CEA Positions

This Section of the C&P Guide describes the procedures for establishing a new CEA position which has been delegated to all departments. (See SPB pinkie dated 09/03/02.)

Establishment of a CEA Position

Provide the following documentation to SPB:

  1. Memo to the SPB analyst requesting that the position be established and stressing the policy role of the position.
  2. Key position description.
  3. Duty statement.
  4. Organization chart.

(Do not include salary information or identify CEA levels in this material.)

Provide the following documentation to DPA:

  1. A copy of the SPB package.
  2. CEA Database Input form.
  3. Level Analysis/justification.

Processing the CEA Request

Send the SPB package to the SPB analyst for review and the DPA package to the DPA analyst. After review, the SPB analyst will forward the request to the SPB Division Chief, then to the Executive Officer for approval. You will be notified if it is approved and the effective date.

The DPA analyst will review the DPA package and provide consultation to SPB upon request, or as applicable. The package will be forwarded to the Classification and Compensation Division (CCD) Board Item Coordinator where it will be held until SPB approves the CEA package. Upon approval, the Coordinator will prepare the Pay Letter and coordinate file preparation. CCD maintains a file for each established (or denied) CEA position, and information in the DPA CEA Database.

CEA Salary Actions

Departments are responsible for determining CEA Levels and individual salary rates using the Pay Scale, Section 8, Variable Compensation for CEA.
