The purpose of the classification / salary review is to determine if a new or revised position is exempt from overtime pay requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act (exempt status) and to determine range placement in the Staff Compensation System. Revised positions are defined as:

1. positions with increased or changed responsibilities (defined in the job description);
2. positions with increased or reduced FTE

New or revised staff positions must be reviewed/classified by the Office of Human Resources so that external benchmark, salary range and salary determinations can be made. When available, salary information from external benchmarks determines the range placement in the University's staff compensation system.

Classification reviews are not required for straight replacements.
