SECTION 260:25-5-34. Determination of appropriate job family


Latest version.
  • (a)   Job family descriptors shall be used in the determination of the allocation of positions. In determining the job family to which a position shall be allocated, a Position Description Questionnaire and a job family descriptor shall be interpreted and applied as a composite picture of positions the job family includes [74:840-4.3].
    (b)   Relevant information about the position shall be considered. This may include, but is not limited to, individual position descriptions, information submitted by the Appointing Authority and employee, job audit reports, organizational charts, and lists of accountabilities to be used in appraising performance in the position.
    (c)   Consideration shall be given to the specific tasks and duties, levels of authority and responsibility, supervision received and exercised, discretion and judgment required, management of work processes and programs, organizational relationships to other positions, and any other factors which assist in the proper allocation of the position.
    (d)   The Human Capital Management Division may consider the relationship of positions to gain a better understanding of the duties and responsibilities of a position being allocated.
    (e)   The fact that all of the tasks of a position do not appear in the job family descriptor to which the position has been allocated shall not be taken to mean that the position is necessarily excluded from the job family, nor shall any one example of a typical task, taken without relation to the other parts of the job family descriptor, be construed as determining that a position should be allocated to the job family.
    (f)   If a job family descriptor which clearly encompasses the duties and responsibilities of a position does not already exist, the Human Capital Management Division shall allocate the position to the most appropriate existing job family, revise an existing job family descriptor, or prepare a new job family descriptor to describe the position.
