The CPRT therefore recommends development and implementation of an Automated Classification Evaluation System. In order to appreciate the functionality which is about to be described, it is important to have a basic understanding of the process change which will be associated with the system. Employee logs on to online classification evaluation system and responds to questions relative to functions, tasks and skills. Supervisor logs on to the classification evaluation system to review the employee's submittal, edits as needed, and endorses.
System quantifies the responses and compares the submittal to established classification criteria.
System generates an immediate classification determination based on the information provided. Submittals determined by the system to be borderline or unique are placed in a queue for Human Resources analysis. It relies upon the system and its data store to accomplish work currently done manually. It also provides a real time answer. Given the simplicity of the process, one might assume that the complexity lies in the technology.
