The reasons for requesting a reconsideration of position level will generally fall into one of the following categories:
Existing Positions with Changed/Enhanced Responsibilities. Re-evaluation of an existing position with substantially changed responsibilities can be requested at any time, ideally prior to the assignment of new responsibilities. It is understood, however, that position responsibilities often evolve over a period of time. This is handled in much the same manner as the evaluation of a new position, in both instances a new Position Description Form is required.
A request for reconsideration is appropriate when additional market or salary information suggests that the position level may not be appropriate or consistent with the market. Human Resources does comparisons with certain market data sources, but encourages additional information be submitted when appropriate and credible. A reconsideration request is also appropriate if a department supervisor/director believes the levels are not consistent with the relative responsibility levels of positions within his/her department or unit.
All requests for reconsideration of a newly assigned level should be made within six (6) weeks of the time that a supervisor is notified of the assigned level, and only if there is new, additional or changed information to present.
Supervisors are normally expected to have informed a new employee of his or her position level at the time of hire or an incumbent within one (1) week of the supervisor’s notification. Consequently, requests for reconsideration will be considered only within six (6) weeks following those timeframes.
