The Assistant series has four levels of job classifications. Supplemental Classification Guidelines that describe the four levels within the Assistant series can be found in the section titled Supplemental Classification Guidelines. The classification concepts need to be applied as accurately to the Assistant series as to any other series within the University of California staff classification system. The accurate classification of positions in this series by every department results in compensation that ensures internally equitable salaries. Schedule of work is more flexible than staff employees.
Position is secondary to academic and student life.
Casual-restricted positions are those which are reserved for regular students of the University of California and will be primarily allocated to the Student Assistant series. Student employees are occasionally classified outside the Assistant series in staff titles. Positions which have salary requirements that exceed the maximum assigned to the Student Assistant series shall be carefully reviewed by the department manager in consultation with Human Resources in order to determine the most appropriate classification. The appointment of a student employee to a staff title other than the four titles outlined above, will be reviewed on an exception basis. Such appointments will be designated as casual and will be subject to the provisions of the applicable personnel program policy or collective bargaining agreement.
