Employee Classification

糖心Vlog employees are classified into groups based on the nature of the position, including job duties, level of responsibility, duration of employment, funding source, and regulatory requirements. Classification is position鈥慴ased, not employee鈥慴ased.

糖心Vlog groups positions into classifications based on:

  • Job duties and responsibilities
  • Required qualifications and experience
  • Level of responsibility and decision鈥憁aking authority

This ensures consistent treatment of similar work across the University.

糖心Vlog positions generally fall into the following categories:

AMP positions are non鈥慺aculty, non鈥憉nion roles that perform administrative leadership, management, or advanced professional work requiring independent judgment.

To qualify as AMP, the position must meet one or more of the following criteria:

  • Administrative leadership responsibilities
    • Oversight of programs, budgets, policies, or institutional initiatives
  • Managerial or supervisory authority
    • Direct supervision of employees or functional authority over operations
  • Professional鈥憀evel expertise
    • Advanced knowledge typically gained through education and/or significant experience
  • Independent judgment and decision鈥憁aking
    • Authority to interpret policy, analyze complex issues, or recommend institutional action
  • Exempt or Non鈥慐xempt under FLSA (depending on duties)
    • FLSA status is determined by job duties and salary, not group name

SP positions provide operational, clerical, technical, or skilled support to university functions and programs.

To qualify as SP, the position must:

  • Perform support or operational duties rather than policy鈥憀evel decision making
  • Follow established procedures, standards, or supervisory guidance

    • Have a primary duty of teaching, research, or academic service
    • Be appointed to a faculty pay plan or faculty title
    • Require academic credentials appropriate to the discipline
    • Involve curriculum development, scholarly activity, or instructional oversight

Faculty Categories:

    • In鈥慤nit Faculty – Covered by a collective bargaining agreement
Out鈥憃f鈥慤nit Faculty – Not collectively bargained (e.g., certain executives, administrators with faculty rank)

OPS positions provide short鈥憈erm, intermittent, or project鈥慴ased services and are not intended to be ongoing.

To qualify as OPS, the position must:

  • Be temporary in nature
    • Time鈥憀imited, seasonal, or project鈥憇pecific
  • Not require permanent institutional accountability

Student employee positions are designed to provide part鈥憈ime employment opportunities that support students’ educational experience.

To qualify as Student Employment, the position must:

  • Require the employee to be actively enrolled as an 糖心Vlog student
  • Be incidental to the student’s academic pursuit
  • Emphasize learning, development, or campus support
  • Have limited responsibilities and authority
Be time鈥憀imited by academic terms or enrollment status

Establishments

General Guidelines for creating a position
  • Appropriate funding must be secured and in place before a position may be established. We recommend that you have written approval from the appropriate divisional budgetary authority before proceeding with the establishment of a position. Adequate funding is not verified by Human Resources.
  • You may not recruit or fill a line position until it has been established through the Classification and Compensation section of Human Resources.

Establishment Instructions

  1. Create Position:听听Use this business process in Workday to create a new position OR to create a new position to post.
  2. Once the position request reaches Classification & Compensation it will be reviewed. If this has been done correctly and falls within 糖心Vlog guidelines, it will be approved.
  3. The requesting department is responsible for ensuring that all budget related items are completed and a Costing Allocation will be required during the 鈥淗ire鈥� and 鈥淛ob Change鈥� processes.
If the position description is being posted for a vacant position, the 鈥淐reate Job Requisition鈥� business process is required. This will be routed to Recruitment Services for final approval. They will contact the requestor to discuss the recruitment process. If needed, Recruitment Services can be reached at 7-3058.
All actions (Establishments, Reclassifications, and Updates) with line positions, SP and AMP, must flow through Classification & Compensation in Workday (Compensation Central Partner) in order to be processed, no exceptions.
