Classification

UA statewide is currently placing regular staff positions into job famillies. Development of a new classification system for staff will support the University's goals for recruitment and retention, workforce planning, performance management, career development and a review of the compensation system. The system will be used across the University, providing consistent alignment of positions, structure for identifying career ladders, and benchmarks for conducting external salary surveys.

The classification system groups jobs into families. Each "job family" will have several levels to reflect the nature and complexity of the work. Job families are evaluated to link each level with a salary grade. Individual positions are assigned to the appropriate family and level based on the family concept and level descriptions.
