Classification Specifications

Understanding that every classification has its own specialties and distinguishing characteristics is essential for ensuring effective hiring, promoting, and compensating practices. Recognizing these differences ensures that each employee is accurately placed and fairly rewarded based on their unique knowledge, skills, abilities, and responsibilities. Job class specifications describe and explain the job duties and responsibilities assigned to a particular classification, in addition to outlining the knowledge, skills, abilities, education, and experience required to successfully perform those duties.
