Reclassification Staff Positions

A reclassification occurs when a position is changed to a different pay grade based on changes to the duties, responsibilities, minimum requirements and preferred qualifications of the job.

1. A pay increase resulting from reclassification occurs when the job an employee occupies is moved to a different pay grade. The reclassification and any resulting pay increase will become effective with the first day of the pay period closest to the implementation date established by the university.
2. The increase may not be above the maximum of the pay range for the new classification.

The intended purpose of a reclassification is to correct inequity in class, grade or pay based on the duties that an employee is already performing. Reclassifications are not a means to bypass the ability for internal qualified and interested employees to have equal opportunities to compete for promotional opportunities.
