Classification
Classification of Non-Management/Non-Exempt positions (Classified Titles)
As determined by the Department of Personnel Administration, Human Resources Division for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, designated Classification Specifications are administered by Human Resources to assist departments in making appropriate hiring decisions.
A statement of the important and frequently performed duties of the position should be prepared by the hiring department in order for Human Resources to determine the most accurate Classification Specification and Title that will best match the requirements for the job.
Reallocations
Classified employees and/or their manager may file an appeal of the classification of a position based on duties currently being performed. Please contact Human Resources to request a Position Audit Guide, or download the form here. Once the completed Position Audit Guide is returned to Human Resources, a reallocation panel will meet to review the request. This review may involve an informal hearing with the employee. A decision is typically rendered within 30 days of receipt of the form.
Salary Administration Program for Professional/Exempt Positions
The policies as set forth in the Salary Administration Program determine the classification and salary range level for positions held by employees who are primarily engaged in a particular field requiring unique and highly specialized skills. The primary work in the Professional position requires advanced knowledge customarily obtained by a prolonged course of specialized study and instruction or work in a recognized field of artistic endeavor. Each professional position is evaluated in terms of specific elements (listed in the Salary Administration Handbook) and the extent to which each element is present in the position.
