A position reclassification is the assignment of a new job profile and/or compensation grade/job family to an existing position. Human Resources bases this change on an evaluation of the duties, responsibilities, scope, impact, and minimum qualifications of the position. The evaluation may result in a change to the job profile and grade profile; and, in some cases, to the job family (not all reviews will result in a change).
