Understanding Reclassification

The objective of reclassification is to update career data with changes that stem from a change in the employee's grade and step.

The process determines which employees meet the criteria for reclassification and can access a new grade/step within a particular time frame either prior to the reclassification date or during the period between the reclassification date and the application administration date. The reclassification date is the effective date of the Reclassification table.

The reclassification process includes several steps:

• Defining the reclassification conditions and procedures on the reclassification chart.

• Simulating reclassification and saving the results in a temporary table.

• Validating reclassifications, collectively or individually.

• Inserting valid reclassifications into the employee records.
