PT Board committee advances exempt‑position justification, targets November draft for CalHR review
Summary
Board committee reported it has drafted a timeline and is preparing an exempt‑position (EPR) justification for the executive officer classification, with staff aiming to submit a draft to the Office of Human Resources (OHR) in November and return a recommendation to the board in December or March 2026.
The Physical Therapy Board of California’s committee on personnel and the EPR (exempt position request) told the full board it has developed a timeline and initial justification for raising the classification level of the board’s executive officer.
Committee member Sam Que said the group “developed a timeline” and listed initial items for the EPR submission, and that staff plan “in November … to have a draft justification on the EPR and … submit it to the OHR for review.”
The committee, which has met multiple times, told board members the aim is to have an EPR draft available for the board to consider at the December meeting and, if necessary, finalize a decision at the March 2026 meeting to align with the executive officer evaluation and the board’s sunset review work.
Why it matters: the board’s executive officer is an exempt management position whose classification affects recruitment, pay parity and the board’s ability to retain senior staff. Committee members said a strong comparative justification—drawing on similar boards inside and outside the Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA)—will strengthen the EPR package submitted to state human resources reviewers.
What the committee reviewed: Sam Que and other committee members said they will compare duties, license population, budget and delegated authority across DCA boards and other state agencies to show the board’s scope and workload. Deputy director Nicole Le from DCA administrative services joined a committee meeting to offer guidance on comparative approaches, the committee reported.
Next steps and process: the committee told the board it will submit a draft to the Department of Consumer Affairs’ Office of Human Resources in November and expects OHR to return feedback quickly; staff recommended the board consider the draft in December and, if not ready, take final action in March 2026. The committee also recommended a one‑day October workshop to finalize the sunset report and related materials.
No formal board vote was recorded on the EPR at the September meeting; committee members instead presented the timeline and asked the board to expect the draft and subsequent decision windows.
