Common use of Position Classifications Clause in Contracts

Position Classifications. A classification review will be conducted whenever a new position is created or when the functions of an existing position (either vacant or encumbered) change significantly and either the position holder and/or the department request a re-evaluation of the position grade. University Human Resources (UHR) determines the appropriate classification and grade/range for all new, vacant, and encumbered staff positions through a review of the position’s duties and responsibilities. Classification reviews focus on the position duties and responsibilities, not the performance, length of service, or personal qualifications of the employee. Major classification factors considered are: • Accountability: autonomy, freedom to act, impact on organization, authority • Problem solving: environment-whether routine, standard, or broadly defined interactions • Knowledge: education and skills, determination of technical depth and breadth
