Investment board employe hired in the classified service whose position was changed to unclassified by subsequent legislative action had a property interest in the position entitling him to continued civil service protections after the reclassification. Bahr v. State Investment Bd. 186 W (2d) 379, 521 NW (2d) 152 (Ct. App. 1994).
230.09(1)(1) The secretary shall ascertain and record the duties, responsibilities and authorities of, and establish grade levels and classifications for, all positions in the classified service. Each classification so established shall include all positions which are comparable with respect to authority, responsibility and nature of work required. Each classification shall be established to include as many positions as are reasonable and practicable. In addition, each class shall:
230.09(1)(b)
(b) Be designated by the same official generic title. The official titles of classes so established shall be used in all reports and payrolls and in all estimates requesting the appropriation of money to pay employes.
230.09(1)(c)
(c) Be so constituted that the same evaluated grade level within a pay schedule can be applied to all positions in the class under similar working conditions.
230.09(1)(d)
(d) Where practical, be included in a series to provide probable lines of progression.
230.09(2)(a)(a) After consultation with the appointing authorities, the secretary shall allocate each position in the classified service to an appropriate class on the basis of its duties, authority, responsibilities or other factors recognized in the job evaluation process. The secretary may reclassify or reallocate positions on the same basis.
230.09(2)(am)
(am) The secretary shall maintain and improve the classification plan to meet the needs of the service, using methods and techniques which may include personnel management surveys, individual position reviews, occupational group classification surveys, or other appropriate methods of position review. Such reviews may be initiated by the secretary after taking into consideration the recommendations of the appointing authority, or at his or her own discretion. The secretary shall establish, modify or abolish classifications as the needs of the service require.
230.09(2)(b)
(b) To accommodate and effectuate the continuing changes in the classification plan as a result of the classification survey program and otherwise, the secretary shall, upon initial establishment of a classification, assign that class to the appropriate pay rate or range, and may, upon subsequent review, reassign classes to different pay rates or ranges. The secretary shall assign each class to a pay range according to the skill, effort, responsibility and working conditions required for the class, without regard to whether the class is occupied primarily by members of a certain gender or racial group. The secretary shall give notice to appointing authorities to permit them to make recommendations before final action is taken on any such assignment or reassignment of classes.
230.09(2)(c)
(c) If anticipated changes in program or organization will significantly affect the assignment of duties or responsibilities to positions, the appointing authority shall, whenever practicable, confer with the secretary within a reasonable time prior to the reorganization or changes in program to formulate methods to fill positions which are newly established or modified to the extent that reclassification of the position is appropriate. In all cases, appointing authorities shall give written notice to the secretary and employe of changes in the assignment of duties or responsibilities to a position when the changes in assignment may affect the classification of the position.
230.09(2)(d)
(d) If after review of a filled position the secretary reclassifies or reallocates the position, the secretary shall determine whether the incumbent shall be regraded or whether the position shall be opened to other applicants.
230.09(2)(e)
(e) If an appointing authority appoints a person to a position at an approved grade level lower than that recognized for the position, the person in the position may be regraded, only upon recommendation of the appointing authority, subject to the statutes, classification plan and rules prescribed under this subchapter.
230.09(2)(f)
(f) If a position in the classified service is reclassified or reallocated, or if a position is allocated from the unclassified service to a classification in the classified service having a lower pay rate or pay range maximum than the incumbent's current basic pay rate, the pay rate of the incumbent shall be adjusted under the compensation plan under
s. 230.12 or the rules prescribed under this section.
230.09(2)(g)
(g) When filling a new or vacant position, if the secretary determines that the classification for a position is different than that provided for by the legislature as established by law or in budget determinations, or as authorized by the joint committee on finance under
s. 13.10, or as specified by the governor creating positions under
s. 16.505 (1) (c) or
(2), the University of Wisconsin Hospitals and Clinics Board creating positions under
s. 16.505 (2n) or the board of regents of the university of Wisconsin system creating positions under
s. 16.505 (2m), or is different than that of the previous incumbent, the secretary shall notify the administrator and the secretary of administration. The administrator shall withhold action on the selection and certification process for filling the position. The secretary of administration shall review the position to determine that sufficient funds exist for the position and that the duties and responsibilities of the proposed position reflect the intent of the legislature as established by law or in budget determinations, the intent of the joint committee on finance acting under
s. 13.10, the intent of the governor creating positions under
s. 16.505 (1) (c) or
(2), the University of Wisconsin Hospitals and Clinics Board creating positions under
s. 16.505 (2n) or the intent of the board of regents of the university of Wisconsin system creating positions under

subch. V of ch. 111.
230.10(2)
(2) The compensation plan in effect at the time that a representative is recognized or certified to represent employes in a collective bargaining unit and the employe salary and benefit provisions under
s. 230.12 (3) (e) in effect at the time that a representative is certified to represent employes in a collective bargaining unit under
subch. V of ch. 111 constitute the compensation plan or employe salary and benefit provisions for employes in the collective bargaining unit until a collective bargaining agreement becomes effective for that unit. If a collective bargaining agreement under
subch. V of ch. 111 expires prior to the effective date of a subsequent agreement, and a representative continues to be recognized or certified to represent employes specified in
s. 111.81 (7) (a) or certified to represent employes specified in
s. 111.81 (7) (b) or
(c) in that collective bargaining unit, the wage rates of the employes in such a unit shall be frozen until a subsequent agreement becomes effective, and the compensation plan under
s. 230.12 and salary and benefit changes adopted under
s. 230.12 (3) (e) do not apply to employes in the unit.

Not limited by enumeration, such considerations for establishment of pay rates and ranges and applicable within range pay adjustments may include provisions prevalent in schedules used in other public and private employment, professional or advanced training, recognized expertise, or any other criteria which assures state employe compensation is set on an equitable basis.
230.12(1)(bf)

13.50 (6) (a) and
(b) and
16.47 (2). The committee may, however, submit suitable portions of the bill or companion bills to appropriate legislative committees for advisory recommendations on the proposed changes. The committee shall accompany the introduction of such proposed legislation with a message that informs the legislature of the committee's concurrence with the matters under consideration and which recommends the passage of such legislation without change. It is the intent of the legislature to make this process consistent with that set forth under
s. 111.92.
230.12(1)(c)1.1. When applicable, the compensation plan may provide for pay supplements to reflect those circumstances not reflected by the basic pay rates or ranges as established in the compensation plan. Such pay supplements shall not be considered as part of an employe's basic pay.
