1. Introduction
The following guidelines are meant to help managers and employees understand the processes involved in job classification and salary administration as they relate to regular staff employees. If after reviewing these guidelines and you have specific questions or concerns on particular topocs, please contact The Office of Human Resources.

2. New Positions
A new job title for a position may be established when a) an additional position has been newly budgeted and the role is demonstrably different in nature from other positions in the immediate work unit, or b) when an existing position is changed substantially to the degree that a different job classification is required. In most cases existing positions change in such a way that a reclassification into another existing job title is all that is required.

When a new title is requested, the hiring department completes both a Position Classification Questionnaire (PCQ) and a position description. This document is submitted initially to The Office of Human Resources. The Office of Human Resources then evaluates the request and sends a job classification approval back to the requesting department manager, along with classification details and approved job description.

The hiring department manager then logs onto www.gcsujobs.com/hr and enter approved position information and submit for approval to post.
