Job Audit Packet Instructions
Classified Positions


 

CLASSIFICATION AUDITS

The purpose of an audit is to ensure proper job classification of a position. The audit also provides an opportunity to maintain communication with managers and employees.


PROCEDURE FOR CLASSIFICATION REVIEW

  1. Immediate Supervisor: Submits a request for classification review to Human Resources at employment@uconn.edu. Request should include employee’s name and employee number. Audit packet will be sent directly to the supervisor.

  2. Employee: Completes the job audit packet in its entirety and forwards to immediate supervisor.

  3. Immediate Supervisor: Reviews content, makes comments (as needed), signs and prints name on reverse side of Duties Questionnaire Form. Forwards packet to Dean, Director or Department Head for second signature.

  4. Dean, Director, or Department Head: Reviews content, signs and prints name on reverse side of Duties Questionnaire Form and returns completed packet to Human Resources, Unit 5075.

  5. Human Resources: Reviews completed packet and determines if further clarification is needed from employee and/or supervisor. If additional information is needed, an on-site audit may be scheduled.

    Human Resources analyzes audit request and makes recommendation for appropriate classification. The recommendation may be for a promotion, lateral title change, or it may be determined that the current classification is consistent with the job duties.

    If the recommended title is not on the Decentralized Classification Authority Agreement, audit materials will be submitted to Department of Administrative Services for review.

    Human Resources issues final audit results to immediate supervisor. If audit determines a title or salary change, results will include the Compensation and Classification Analysis Summary Sheet. Department has the option to approve reclassification and promote employee or remove higher level duties and maintain employee’s current classification.

    All audits resulting in a position change must be signed in accordance with the University's two-signature policy.
