Classification & Compensation

To view salary schedules and learn more about how PPS salary places employees, visit this website. Licensed Administrator salary placement guidelines can be found here. 

The purpose of a classification review is to evaluate and assess the appropriateness of an employee’s current job classification. The review process ensures that job duties, responsibilities, and qualifications are accurately reflected in the assigned classification level or pay grade. Supervisors may request a classification review if they believe there has been a change in job duties, responsibilities, or scope of work that warrants reclassification. This process applies to non-represented employees only.

Supervisors, if you are planning to restructure your team, modify direct reports, realign functions, or make similar changes, please reach out to Stacey Jung for consultation. We offer support in various ways, from guiding you through the design process to identifying the potential employee impacts of these changes, which may include adjustments to classification or compensation.

Non-Represented employees temporarily assigned (a minimum of 30 days), to cover the majority of the responsibilities in a higher level position (higher job classification) may be eligible for ‘out of class’ additional earnings. This usually occurs when an employee takes on responsibilities at a classification higher than their current classification due to an extended leave of absence or to cover a vacancy.  Additional information is available here.

PFSP - As stated in Article 13 of the current PFSP CBA: “An employee temporarily assigned the full duties and responsibilities of a higher salary level position for more than five (5) days shall be paid a minimum of five percent (5%) above their current hourly rate or the first step of the higher classification, whichever is the greatest, retroactive to the first day of the temporary assignment.” To request an out of class adjustment supervisor of the employee contacts HR at ccinquiries@pps.net with a request for out of class compensation review and any additional information available. Additional information is available here.
