20.1. An incumbent employee or the employee's supervisor may request a classification review when significant changes occur in the principal duties and responsibilities of a position.

20.2. Classification review requests are not to be submitted based on a desire for a salary increase, to reward for job performance, seniority, equity, future tasks, additional duties of the same nature and level of the job held or because an employee's pay is at or near the pay range maximum.

20.3. To initiate the classification review request, the employee and supervisor must complete the position description form (PDF) and a formal request for classification review form. Both must be submitted to the institutional Human Resources Office. The request for review form must include the date and detailed reasons for such request.

20.7. Within forty-five (45) working days from the date of the formal request for review of a job, the institution's Chief Human Resources Officer or his/her designee shall report to the requestor in writing the result of the classification review.

20.8. An organization that fails to complete a review within the specified time shall provide the employee back pay from the date the request for review was received if the review, when completed, produces a reclassification of the position into a job in a higher pay grade.
