Changes in duties and responsibilities may only be introduced by a Head of Office and approved by the Head of Division. When this happens the revised duty statement will be forwarded to the Director Human Resources for approval. In circumstances where a staff member and the Administrative Head disagree about either the duties and responsibilities required of a position or the basis of a claim, the staff member should complete a reclassification application form and submit it through the Administrative Head who should respond to the staff member in writing, prior to submitting the claim. The Administrative Heads comments together with the application should then be forwarded to Human Resources. It should be noted that it is University policy that where the classification is increased by two or more levels then it must be advertised and filled by competitive selection.
Procedure Make all claims on the attached form.
Attach the old and new duty statements, selection criteria and organisation structure charts. Where documentation is complete, a determination will normally be made within two months of receipt of the claim by the Director, Human Resources. The effective date of any successful claim will be the first day of the pay period commencing on or after the date the claim with full documentation is signed by the Head of Division. Director, Human Resources Determine outcome.
