Employee-Requested Review Process

Main content start

If a staff employee wishes to request a job classification review, follow the steps below.


1. Employee Initiates

Employee identifies in writing the reason(s) they believe the job description match is incorrect, and provides that written information to their manager and local HR manager.

2. Discuss Request

The employee, manager and local HR manager meet and discuss the request.

3. Discuss Request with Senior Leadership

The manager, local HR manager and the school/unit senior administrative leader review and discuss the employee’s request, determining if the matching should be changed, either to the job description identified by the employee, or to a different job description. If they agree that the matching should be changed, the appropriate job description is identified and communicated back to the employee in a confirmation letter.

4. Optional: Employee-Requested Review by University HR Staff Compensation Team

If the manager, HR manager and school/unit senior administrative leader do not believe the match should be changed, the employee may request the decision be reviewed by the University HR Staff Compensation Team.

5. Staff Compensation Makes Final Decision

The University HR Staff Compensation Team reviews all input about the job description (from the employee, manager, local HR manager and school/unit senior administrative leader) and makes a decision. All decisions made by Staff Compensation are final.
