Express Classification

Express classification enables entities to create new positions or reclassify existing positions specified in an agreed upon listing of job classifications. This program expedites the position management process for positions/classifications that meet certain criteria and that are frequently created or reclassified.

Criteria for Jobs Eligible for Express Classification

  1. Classification must currently be in existence
  2. Typically part of an established clinical ladder or career pathway with a review ladder committee and/or have specific competency, licensure/certification, and education requirements. (i.e. Pharmacist, Clinical Nurse, Nurse Practitioner).
  3. Position is in a department that already has incumbents in the classification and has a high volume of activity in the classification.

Supervisory and exempt administrative/managerial classifications are not eligible for express position management.

  • Classification is already used in organizational unit
  • Budgetary approval of position
  • Position attributes are correct - Exempt/Non-Exempt, Employee group and subgroup, Personnel Subarea (i.e. PRN)

Additional validations required for reclassifications:

  • Appropriate ladder approvals have been obtained (ladder committee, department approval, etc.)
  • Timing of reclassifications that include an exemption change cannot be retroactive in order to pay for all hours worked
