Reclassification and New Position Requests

If you believe reclassification is appropriate, first reach out to HR Classification & Compensation to discuss the situation and request a Position Information Questionnaire (PIQ). Then, complete and submit a Reclassification Request Form on the HCC Faculty & Staff Intranet with the complete PIQ attached.

College positions are classified to facilitate organizational structure, position control, and salary management. Proper classification assists in maintaining internal equity related to the overall responsibility and scope of a job and placement in an appropriate salary level as defined in the Salary Schedule.

If you are recruiting for a vacant position and find new and significantly different responsibilities are needed to meet department goals a reclassification may be needed. If department needs have changed and significant changes in duties and responsibilities are needed for an existing position, a reclassification request may also be appropriate.
