Espinoza said positive performance reviews and corresponding salary adjustments are the way to reward employees for outstanding work. Reclassification is not a promotion. Rather, it reflects the evolution of a specific job, she said.
People think their classification impacts their pay.
That's only true when you are hired, which is why job descriptions are so important to the system. When a job is not part of a series, people in that job should expect to move to another job in a higher classification in order to advance. Other, external factors also reflect the P level assigned to a job, Espinoza said.
