Requesting a job classification

UQ uses a Job Architecture model whereby a position is assigned to an existing job profile which is based on the classification structure and job descriptors contained in the UQ Enterprise Agreement.

If a newly created position or the duties of an existing position have significantly changed and there is no existing populated job profile to which a position can be mapped, then the position will be evaluated and classified using an approved job evaluation methodology.

The job evaluation process determines the classification level of a position based upon the work value of the position, including the:

• training and experience required to perform the role
• complexity of task level
• level of responsibility
• decision-making
• autonomy required of the position.

Requesting a job evaluation

Before requesting for a reclassification, you must discuss your intentions to apply for a reclassification of your position with your supervisor.  

Reclassification can be requested in the Requests application in Workday. Request should include the following information:

• completed Workday request questionnaire;
• current and revised position descriptions;
• identification of current and proposed job profiles; and
• current and revised organisational charts.

Please note, reclassification requests for a new and existing position will need to be requested via the Requests application in Workday.
