Duties Description Value Proposition
Are you passionate about pay equity? Are you looking for growth opportunities, rewarding work, and a collaborative environment? If yes, then you will want to join our team in the Division of Classification & Compensation (C&C) at the Department of Civil Service. C&C administers a sound and responsive position classification and compensation plan for the state workforce to ensure fairness, equity, and sensitivity to market conditions and help the state attract and retain talent.
We ensure that employees’ salaries are equitable and are based on the duties that they perform and not on non-job-related characteristics. This is accomplished through, among other things:
• Reviewing proposed positions to ensure the appropriateness of the title, minimum requirements, and salary range.
• Changing the title and salary range of existing positions to recognize changes in employee's duties and responsibilities.
• Ensuring that state salaries are competitive to allow agencies to attract and retain talent.

Our work forms the foundation for virtually every activity in the employment lifecycle—recruitment, hiring, employee development, performance evaluation, and rewards including compensation.


Under the supervision of a Human Resources Specialist 2 Classification & Compensation, the incumbent of this position will be involved with the organizational management activities of assigned State agencies. Duties will include the following:
Analyzing classification and compensation requests, and out-of-title work grievances; and making sound recommendations.
Preparing input on transfer and reemployment determinations, special projects, and studies which may involve tours and workforce audits of State facilities and offices.
Preparing Classification Standards for titles in various occupational areas.
Meeting with executive and management staff of client agencies to discuss classification and compensation requests. Anticipated or proposed changes in organizational structures, and other workforce matters.
Participating on intra-and-inter-departmental committees concerned with resolving broad issues related to work force management.
Interacting with Executive Branch policymakers from the Division of the Budget, the Governor’s Office of Employee Relations, and the Office of the State Comptroller regarding centralized workforce management issues.
