Classification Request

Introduction

Maintaining accurate and up-to-date staff position descriptions is an important management function to establish clarity regarding employee responsibilities, enable mission-driven goal setting, accurately evaluate performance and ensure proper position classification and compensation analyses.

It is recommended for supervisors to review the accuracy of position descriptions with staff members annually. As our campus administrators respond to evolving business needs within their units, it may be necessary to revise staff position descriptions and organizational structures to continue to meet and exceed the expectations of those we serve. The Office of Human Resources (HR) is here to support the campus by providing position review and compensation analysis services each time a staff position description is revised or strategic operational planning is underway.

Supervisors should submit a Service Request when reorganizing departments, creating new positions, revising position descriptions or submitting positions for revaluation of current classification and compensation.

Please note that a completed Position Description and updated Organizational Chart are required with each submission.

Once a Service Request is submitted, a Compensation Consultant will review submitted materials and available data necessary to conduct external market and internal equity classification and compensation analyses. The review process is intended to be collaborative between HR team members and supervisors, and may require meetings to discuss the details of submitted materials to best inform the HR recommendation regarding the appropriate classification and compensation for each position.

Classification requests will be completed within ten (10) business days of submission.
