The classification process examines and evaluates the duties, tasks, and requirements of the position - not the abilities, background, or performance of the person in the position. An increase in the quality or volume of work does not generally justify reclassification. The agency s designated Human Resources representative then submits to CPD the PIQ and any supporting documentation such as an organizational chart. CPD then begins the evaluation process. The Personnel Officer uses a variety of information to analyze a classification and arrive at a decision.
Classification is more than comparing the position to the class description.
It is critical that the supervisor and employee thoroughly review and complete the required forms and submit all related documentation in order for the Personnel Officer to make a quality and timely decision. Within 60 days, CPD will notify the agency and employee of the decision. If an employee or supervisor is not satisfied with the CPD decision, he or she may request reconsideration. CPD uses a committee to reconsider the decision and issues a final decision within 60 days of the request.
