What is the difference between reclassification and classification conversion?
A. The reclassification of a position occurs when the evaluation of its work description results in a change to either or both its occupational group and level due to a significant change in the work assigned to it. A reclassification may be upward, if the work becomes more demanding, or downward, if the work becomes less demanding. A classification conversion occurs when a change is made in the method of establishing the relative value of work for an occupational group resulting in a new pay structure.
