FOR NON-EXEMPT ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT STAFF

Process for Position Classification Review

1.                Identification of Need  

Step 1 of the performance planning process is a review and update, as needed, of the employee's position description.  Minor updates are documented and the altered position description is sent to HR for our records.

If, in the course of updating the position description, you believe that significant evolution of the expectations of the position have occurred, consider submitting a "Request for Position Classification Review."

Significant changes deal with the depth and/or breadth of knowledge required to accomplish the expectations, the complexity and variety of problem solving and challenges related to the position and the scope or accountability of the position.   

In addition to these job factors, positions are also reviewed to determine if job duties meet the standards established in the Fair Labor Standards Act for exempt level positions.  An on-site job analysis is conducted to make this determination when the position's current classification is at a pay grade 10 or in cases where the position description describes duties that appear to be exempt level.

Note: Changes related to increased volume or additional tasks requiring the same or a lesser level knowledge, problem solving and/or accountability are not justification for upgrading a position classification. Outstanding performance in and of itself is also not a criterion for upgrading a position. The level of performance is distinctly separate from position content and should be addressed in the employee's performance assessment and recognized in the employee's annual pay increase.

If you are unsure whether the position has evolved sufficiently to merit a classification review, contact the Compensation Manager in the Office of Human Resources for guidance and clarification.

2.    Request Position Classification Review

Access the forms at Position Classification Review Form.

Attach the new position description to a Request for Position Classification Review form describing the changes.

3.    Timeline

Requests for Position Classification Review for positions that have evolved over the past year should be submitted to the Compensation Manager in HR by March 1 of any year.

Response to all requests will be completed and reviewed with the appropriate supervisor by April 1.

Appeals are due in writing to the Compensation Manager in HR by April 15.

Reclassifications and promotional pay increases will be effective on July 1 of that year.  

Reclassification reviews will take place at other times of the year only for new positions or in the case of positions which have changed significantly due to a substantial departmental restructuring.

4.    Appeal

If the department does not agree with the job classification, a request for further consideration should be made in writing to the Compensation Manager in HR.  In these instances, an on-site job analysis will be conducted with results submitted to the Hay Committee.  The employee’s supervisor will have the opportunity to meet with the Committee and the Committee’s recommendation will be reviewed with the employee’s supervisor.

If there continues to be a disagreement, a final determination will be made by the Vice President for Human Resources in consultation with the Provost or appropriate vice president, taking into account the Committee’s recommendation.
