What is the difference between a eclassification and a eallocation?
A position reallocation occurs when the Director of Personnel assigns a position to a different job classification due to significant changes in the duties and responsibilities assigned to the position. A reallocation is always limited to a single position. In contrast, a reclassification occurs after the Division of Personnel, in consultation with the agency, conducts a classification study and creates a new class or class series. The new class or class series must be approved by the State Personnel Board and then each affected position is reclassified by Division of Personnel. Note that a reclassification involves new classes, actions by the State Personnel Board and generally involves multiple positions. Sometimes a reclassification study may involve an entire agency.
