What is the difference between a state (DHR) class specification and a PDQ?
The DHR state class specification is a general summary document that is used to describe a state classified job. A class specification may represent hundreds of different positions in a variety of state agencies. The class specification includes general information about a classification, physical requirements, typical duties performed, and the minimum qualifications for the classification. On the other hand, a PDQ is a document that is specific to a particular position. PDQs contain more specific task details as compared to a class specification. PDQs are signed documents indicating agreement on the contents between the employee, supervisor, and department director.
