the Division Head.

        2.    REALLOCATION TO LOWER SALARY RANGE: If the official position review results in
                the recommendation of reallocation to a classification paid at a lower salary range, the Court
                Administrator shall provide written notice to the Division Head.

        3.    NO CHANGE IN ALLOCATION: If the official position review results in a recommendation
                of the classification being maintained, no action is required except for the Court Administrator to
                notify the Division Head of the determination.

        4.    REALLOCATION TO DIFFERENT CLASS, SAME PAY RANGE: If the official position
                review results in a recommendation that the position be retitled and the position be reallocated to

                position review results in the existing position being reallocated to a classification paid at a higher
                salary range, and if the incumbent employee has been performing the duties of the higher
                classification, the employee shall be certified as meeting the acceptable qualifications of the higher
                classification.

        2.    RECLASSIFICATION OF INCUMBENT--LOWER SALARY RANGE: If the official

                performing the duties of the different classification, the employee shall be certified as meeting
                the acceptable qualifications of the different classification.

C.    REALLOCATED POSITIONS DUE TO ORGANIZATIONAL REDESIGN: If for reasons
        based upon organizational efficiency, a division has been reorganized by the Division Head, an
        incumbent employee may be reclassified non-competitively with the approval by the Presiding Judge.
