Employee Classification System (IV.4.2)

Table of Contents


Statement of Policy

The employee classification system was established by Business Manager and Assistant Treasurer Memorandum No. 145. Over time, modifications to the classification system occurred and Business Office Memoranda No. 181 and 193 were issued to recognize those changes. Additions to the employee classification system require that the listing of classifications be updated.


Reason for Policy

This policy defines the classification system used for monthly employees of Purdue University. It has been revised to include information on research faculty positions.
