Accountability Sub -Section: C. Contributory - Current • As of 7/10, there were approx. 1025 active job classes (About 58%) with this rating. • Positions provide interpretive, advisory or facilitating services for use by others in taking action. • This type of Job Impact is appropriate where jobs are accountable for providing significant "advice and counsel" in addition to information and/or analysis, and when decisions are likely to be made by virtue of that counsel. • Such impacts are commonly found in staff or support functions that significantly influence decisions. • For example, a "product manager" may provide recommendations that, when acted upon, materially influence sales revenues; a labor relations specialist makes recommendations that "contribute" to union settlements of a given magnitude. • Positions are generally supportive in nature. • Position's role is to provide advice, counsel or recommendations to assist decision -makers and/or action takers. • This Job lmpact option is more direct than the "Indirect" option. S: Shared • As of 7/10, there were 10 active job classes with this rating, including the Governor's position. • Positions participate with peers within or outside the organizational unit to make decisions and take actions jointly; a basic rale is that "sharing" cannot exist vertically in an organization — it can only exist among peers. • Shared impacts can exist between peer jobs and/or functions, and suggest a degree of "partnership" in or joint accountability" for the results. • This option is rarely used; it's for equal partnership situations such as the Governor's shared decision-making with the Legislature or in self-directed work teams. • Responsibility and accountability are shared equally with others. • For example, there may be shared accountability between engineeringand manufacturing functions for a successful product. • A committee where each member has an equal vote is an example of shared accountability. • This Job Impact option is more direct than "Contributory" because these positions share direct accountability fairly equally. However, since it is shared, these positions have lower Job Impact than a position that is considered to be "Primary." • As of 7/10, there were approx. 510 active job classes with this.. rating. • Positions we directly accountable for making decisions and taking actions, directly or through subordinate positions, which determine and control the results. • Line management positions are generally considered to be controlling their own operating areas. • These positions control the Job Impact on end results, where any shared accountability with others is secondary. • Such impacts are commonly found in operations and managerial positions that have `line accountability" for key end result areas, whether they're large or small. • For example, a supervisor may be "primarily accountable" for the production or output (value added) of a unit within the context of available resources (e.g., human resources and controllable expenses); whereas the Minncor Vice -President of Operations may have a primary impact upon the total value added in the manufacture of products or upon costs of goods manufactured. • The key is that the job exists to have the controlling influence on certain end results of a given magnitude, and that accountability is not shared with others, i.e., `the buck stops here." • This is the most direct Job Impact option.
