How is the incumbent involved in the study?
The incumbent’s role is to thoroughly and accurately complete the PDQ and provide clear and concise information in an interview and/or desk audit regarding the work that is being performed in the position. The incumbent may also participate in communications and provide feedback on the preliminary report and recommendations. Due to the nature of incumbent’s having a vested interested in the outcome of a classification study, it’s critical for incumbents to understand an important concept. A classification study is the evaluation of a position or group of positions, not a study of incumbents.
