definitions A <u>budgeted position</u> is a group of duties and responsibilities requiring the full-time employment of 1 person. A budgeted position is commonly referred to as a “job,” and is assigned a “job number.” (See <cite data-path="§AM-230-2">AM-230-2</cite> for complete information concerning job numbers.)
A <u>class</u> is an employment category comprised of positions having similar duties, responsibilities, and qualifications. The creation of a new class is necessary whenever the employee’s duties do not correspond to any existing Civil Service or non-Civil Service class.
<u>Reclassification</u> is the changing of the class of a budgeted position due to a change in the duties and responsibilities of the position.
