Classification

 

Position classification is the systematic categorizing of positions based on duties and responsibilities in accordance with guidelines provided by the State Office of Human Resources. The classification process involves an assessment of the job duties, skill level of work performed, and the overall knowledge requirements of the position. A pay range is established for each classification, and positions that are substantially similar in nature are allocated to the same job classification.

Individual requests from supervisors and managers for position classification reviews may be submitted at any time. Such requests may include the establishment of new positions that will be available for recruitment and selection, or for positions that have experienced significant and permanent changes in duties and responsibilities (vacant or filled). Positions may be reclassified to either a higher, lower or equivalent level. The incumbent must meet the minimum training and experience requirements of the new classification.
