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.
