ANSWER
Staff jobs at UCI are classified based on the duties and responsibilities assigned.
The following criteria are required in order for a position to be considered for reclassification:
- The position has undergone significant changes in level of responsibility since last reviewed.
- The position has changed in the nature, variety, and difficulty of work.
- The position has changed in the supervision received.
- The position has changed in the supervision exercised.
- More than 50% of a position's responsibilities are at the higher level.
- The employee in the position has been performing at the higher level for "one business cycle" (6 - 12 months).
- The position (not the person) is being reclassified for bona fide business reasons.
- Employees typically retain 30% of their prior duties.
Reclassification is not appropriate when the issue is:
- longevity
- increase in workload
- performance
- salary increase
- retention
When preparing a reclassification request, consideration should be given to these questions:
- What major changes in duties and responsibilities have occurred?
- What skills and knowledge are required to perform the assigned duties?
- What is the relationship of this position to others in the unit?
- What primary areas of responsibility are assigned to the position now?
- How does the position compare to similar positions elsewhere?
- What is the consequence of error?
- Is this a supervisory position?
- With what degree of independence does this position operate?
- What guidelines are used in the performance of duties?
- What level of innovation is required?
