Position Classification Review

The California State University system has established classification standards for campus use. The standards specify the definition of a classification series, typical activities of a classification and the minimum qualifications.

Aside from establishing the basis for employment decisions, these standards also form the basis for position classification decisions.

A Classification Review, or commonly referred to as 'Reclassification Request', may be initiated in one of several ways:

• By an Employee
• By a member of management
• By the Human Resources Department
• Through the introduction of a new classification series developed by Faculty and Staff Relations in the Chancellor's Office.

Requests for Classification Reviews initiated by an employee or by a member of management may be submitted at anytime during during each fiscal year.

Reclassification Request packets include the following forms:

• Request for Reclassification (required Vice President's signature)
• Position Description Form
• Supplemental Position Description Form for supervisory positions (complete only if required to supervise staff positions)
