Staff Classification System >>
The University of Pittsburgh’s Staff Classification System (SCS) is designed to help attract, retain, and motivate
qualified individuals by providing salaries that reflect internal equity, external competitiveness, and individual
performance.
The SCS system establishes the following:
- A classification system for all classified staff positions within the University, excluding executive level positions.
- A pay range for each position that will result in equitable treatment of employees within the University and assist in attracting and retaining qualified personnel.
- Support for human resources planning through performance review, development programs, and other programs.
The system is based on the following:
- A job description for each position, which is completed by the employee, and approved by the supervisor, department head, and division head and is maintained in a master file by the Office of Human Resources.
- Analysis and classification of positions in accordance with a series of factors which collectively measure the qualification, authority and responsibility for each position.
- Assignment of classified positions to established pay grades and pay ranges.
- Establishment of guidelines and procedures relating to salary administration and other personnel changes.
- Establishment of a process whereby those in positions covered by this system may request a review, through their supervisor, of their position assignment.
