FUTURE ADMINISTRATION OF THE CLASSIFICATION PLAN The administration of a Classification Plan is an ongoing process. It must be recognized that it is not static and is not intended to affix positions permanently into classifications. Instead, the Plan must be administered continually to adapt it to changing conditions. Three (3) specific types of changes in the Plan itself are possible: elimination of a position, creation of a position, or revision of a position. 1)When a position in a classification is eliminated or when a position has significantly changed work duties and responsibilities to the extent that the position becomes inappropriate or inaccurate, the position should be abolished. 2)New positions should be created when new work situations arise that are not covered by the established positions. However, caution should be exercised in this respect, particularly to ensure that new positions are justified, are not merely duplicating established positions, cannot be accommodated through changes in existing positions, and reflect substantially permanent rather than temporary situations. 3)The adjustment or revision of a position should be done when there are substantial changes to the requirements of the position or to the nature and complexities of the duties being performed. In this instance, a position may need to be re-scored and move up or down into a new classification. All changes should be thoroughly evaluated in order to maintain the integrity of the classification relationships established in the Classification and Compensation Plan. City Administration has been provided with the Job Analysis Questionnaire as well as the Job Factor Scoring Sheet, enabling the Cityto grade a newly created or revised position. MGT provides scoring assistance in such cases in accordance with the Study contract. City of Centerville, MN| May 2026 14 CLASSIFICATION, COMPENSATION, AND PAY EQUITY 20 REPORT
