Position Classification

Classifying Job Positions

To classify a position:

1. The manager or department administrator drafts a copy of the job description. For assistance, contact your HR Advisor or Associate.
2. Enter the job description into the Position Management System.
3. For M&P and Executive Administrative positions, the job description will automatically be sent to Compensation for review, if you’ve indicated that the job will be posted, once you click the Save and Submit button in the Position Management System. For all other positions, the manager or department administrator can classify the job descriptions by following the benchmarking and job standards guidelines.
4. If you would like Compensation to review a non-M&P position, enter the job description in the Job Description Library in eRecruit. Click the Optional classification review requested in the job description tab to send the job description to Compensation for review.

The HR Compensation Analyst classifies the position, and informs the department of the outcome via email through eRecruit.
