When & How to reclassify a position?
A position should be considered for reclassification when there
has been substantial and permanent changes in job duties, job complexity
and/or knowledge and skills required. Changes to a position can
occur naturally over a period of time or as the result of organizational
changes.
To request reclassification of a position, a position description
should be completed that includes the purpose of the job and the
job duties, identified as essential or marginal. Copies of previous
and revised organizational charts should be included if organizational
changes have occurred. Because the change in one position can affect
other positions, requesting departments may also need to provide
information about similar positions within the department.
It is important to note that not all changes in a position will
result in the position being reclassified. Changes in job duties
that may be at a higher level, but are not substantial enough to
justify a higher pay band through reclassification, will result
in an update of the existing position description and no change
in pay band or classification.
All requests for reclassification actions and updates should be
submitted to Human Resources Management, Employment/Classification
and Compensation, for review and appropriate classification.
