Arden Hills ADDITIONAL SERVICES Job Classification Job classification is a series of decisions about how a position is valued within an organization. Each factor requires a decision as to how the job under consideration will be rated using levels that are increasingly complex and of great impact, frequency, or quantity. We look at the job rather than the employee. ■ Job Evaluation: DDA HR will use the existing system or new system to evaluate all jobs using the information gathered from the PDQs. ■ Job Classification Appeal Process: Once jobs classifications are completed, employees and supervisors will review. If changes are needed, they will complete a Job Classification Appeal Form. ■ DDA will review appeals and work with Project Team and employees to create consistent results. ■ Review Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) Designations: DDA HR will review exempt and non-exempt designations to ensure they are appropriate for classifications and make recommended changes, where appropriate. Job Description Re -Write ■ Position Analysis Questionnaire (PAQ)- DDA will work with you to design a PAQ that reflects your needs. We have several versions to customize your needs. ■ We will distribute a position analysis questionnaire (PAQ) to all employees and their supervisors, asking them to outline all the important requirements for and duties of the job. ■ DDA write job descriptions in newly designed and approved job description template. ■ Employees and supervisors will be asked to review the new job descriptions, and we will guide a controlled process for employees to appeal the content of descriptions before they are finalized. • Addition job descriptions may be added to provide for internal promotional opportunities, or jobs may be consolidated to make administration easier. • Job Description Appeal Process: Once jobs descriptions are completed, employees and supervisors will review. If changes are needed, they will complete a Job Description Appeal form. ■ DDA will review appeals and work with Project Team and employees to create consistent results. Ongoing Maintenance This exclusive DDA Human Resources, Inc. program is designed to eliminate the need for large classification and compensation study every 4 to 6 years. Services include everything needed to keep a freshly updated compensation plan perpetually current. We find that over half of larger communities who have completed a compensation study with DDAHR have opted to convert to this management approach. Our ongoing maintenance scope generally includes a three-year commitment and includes the following services: • We review, update and reclassify as necessary 1/3 of job descriptions annually. • We annually update a market analysis of wages with benchmark communities and suggestion changes to pay plan as necessary to remain in tune with the market. • For any new jobs or changed jobs, we will write and classify the position for placement in the compensation system.
