841.1 Position Classification System--Support Personnel

 

A. Background

Furman University wishes to insure that the compensation practices for support personnel are equitable and are based on the requirements expected for each position.

 

B. Policy

Furman University will maintain a position classification system to insure that the relative worth of each position is established in terms of various factors of each job.

 

C. Guidelines

1. Each position is evaluated as to the relative complexity of duties, accuracy required, physical application required, physical application required, conditions under which the job will be performed, the latitude the incumbent will have in performing the job, the extent to which the incumbent will supervise the work of others, the education and experience normally required, and the extent and level of contacts with others. Based on the summation of the relative weights of each of these factors, each position is then grouped with others of similar total weight in a specific grade.

2. Each grade has a minimum and maximum wage/salary rate that is established to be competitive in the normal recruitment area for the positions included in the grade.

3. Each employee should be compensated within the rate range established for the position.
