When do I submit a Reclass vs. an Update?
If you think that an update action on a job description might result in a change of title (be it lateral, upward or downward) please speak with your Compensation Analyst before starting any action. With any action it is important to consult your Analyst before submission however, this situation is uniquely important because the way the system was designed. Due to the way the system was created Compensation does not have the ability to change the title within an update action. The analyst’s only option is to continue the Job Description at the same title. If you do submit the Job Description as an update and the analyst determines that there should be a change in title the analyst will have to return the action to you and you will then need to fill out a reclassification request. So the bottom line is, if there are any questions in your mind whether or not an action will result in a change of title, please speak with the analyst before you start these actions.
