Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office (PBSO) PBA Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) Practice Exam

During a probation extension for a new promotion, who has the right to return an employee to the former classification?

The Sheriff The Employee The Union Representative The Board of County Commissioners

Correct Answer:

The Sheriff

Explanation:

The person with the authority to return an employee to the former classification during a probation extension is the Sheriff. In this context, promotions and probation are management prerogatives held by the appointing authority, so the Sheriff has the final say on whether a promoted employee remains in the new role, continues on probation, or is returned to the prior classification. The Union Representative can advocate for the employee and help navigate the contract’s grievance process, but they do not individually grant or reverse classifications. The Board of County Commissioners does not handle day-to-day personnel decisions like returning someone to a former job classification.
