Agencies must report unclassified jobs

Government of Guam agencies must file reports on unclassified jobs. This covers all branches, agencies, instrumentalities, and autonomous agencies. It also covers public corporations, including the Guam Visitors Bureau. It does not cover elected or appointed officials, their immediate subordinates, or jobs named unclassified by law. Admin, IT, maintenance, custodial, education, police, health care, and engineering staff are not 'immediate subordinates'. Report every unclassified position and any classified job filled by an unclassified worker. Send reports twice a year: October 1–March 31 and April 1–September 30. Base each report on staffing during that period. Send reports to I Liheslaturan Guåhan. For each job, list the title and number, pay grade and step, and the salary. Also state why the merit (classified) system is not practical for that job. The law sets no fines or funding.
