<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings from North Dakota,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are implementing a significant change to our classification system, effective next Wednesday, July 1<sup>st</sup>. The change is summarized in this one-page document:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://www.nd.gov/omb/sites/omb/files/documents/agency/human-resource-mgmt/simplified-job-classifications.pdf">https://www.nd.gov/omb/sites/omb/files/documents/agency/human-resource-mgmt/simplified-job-classifications.pdf</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Basically what we are doing is moving from about 900 classifications to about 100, and revising the salary range structure from 22 grades to 10 grades. The 100 or so new classification are organized into 16 job families, with 5-7 levels
defined within each family. The change is being handled as a translation from the old to the new. All the work has been done internally.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We implemented the Hay system in 2012, and we will continue to use it as the foundation for classification and for position evaluations. The primary change is that the nature, level, and scope of the classifications are being defined more
broadly.<o:p></o:p></p>
