Job Classification and Job Families
Sidebar
The university organizes positions into job classifications and job families to ensure consistency in how work is defined, evaluated and compensated.
Job classifications group positions with similar responsibilities, required qualifications and scope of work. Job families further organize these roles into broader categories based on function or area of expertise.
Each job classification typically includes a job title, description, required qualifications, pay grade and FLSA status. This structure helps ensure alignment across departments and supports fair and consistent compensation practices.
Job classification frameworks also serve as the foundation for future career growth tools, including career ladders and progression pathways.
If you have questions about your job classification or believe your role has changed significantly, your HR Business Partner can help guide next steps.
The Job Leveling Guide serves as the foundation for our compensation and career progression framework, providing consistency in how roles are defined, evaluated and advanced across the university.
A Job Family is a group of jobs in which the work performed is of a similar nature. It is a macro grouping based on functional segmentation and primary responsibilities.
