The Department of Personnel Director is responsible to adopt and revise, as necessary, a comprehensive classification plan. A Classification & Pay Proposal is the tool employers use to request revisions to the classification plan and salary adjustments.
Below are resources to guide employers through the process. We strongly encourage you to contact your assigned DOP Classification & Pay Analyst before you begin a proposal.
Effective September 1, 2007, the open submission period for 2009-2011 bargaining/budget cycle proposals is closed.
