Classifications and Position Descriptions

The compensation and classifications section of human resource services, or the respective Human Resources Team (West Lafayette), or the regional campus human resources department classifies clerical and service positions for the purposes of determining the staff classification, pay level, position title, eligibility for staff benefits, and overtime compensation eligibility.

Position classification determination is based upon the skill, effort, responsibility, and working conditions of the position, and how the position compares to similar positions in the same department, school/college, and across campus.

Employees should discuss any questions they may have concerning their position classification with their immediate supervisor.
