Position Classification
Position classification groups jobs with similar duties and responsibilities into appropriate pay ranges. Classification is based on the duties and responsibilities of the position, not the individual employee. Factors such as performance, workload, length of service and current salary are not considered when determining classification.
Contact your HR Business Partner to discuss classification considerations, review the role’s responsibilities, and identify appropriate next steps.
