What is a JAQ?
A Job Analysis Questionnaire (JAQ) is used
for gathering data on jobs. It is given to
employees and managers to complete as part
of the classification process. The JAQ
includes questions in each of the general
categories found in a job description.
Employees are asked to complete the
questionnaire independently and return the
questionnaire to their manager. The manager
will review and comment on the questionnaire
and forward it to Compensation through their
business administrator for job evaluation,
and finalizing job descriptions.
JAQs are required for changes to staff
positions, including research and trades
jobs, for the following reasons:
- When a manager requests a reclassification
to a job title that currently exists but is
not within the career path of the current
title.
- When a manager requests a new job title
that does not exist.
- When a manager requests modification of an
existing job description.
If the department is requesting a promotion
within the career ladder (going from one
level to the next) then a JAQ is not
necessary. For example, if an individual is
promoted from Financial Assistant 1 to
Financial Assistant 2, then a JAQ is not
needed. (Or similarly, if an individual is
promoted from Researcher 1 to Researcher 2 a
JAQ is not needed.) However, if an
individual is moving from Financial
Assistant 1 to Academic Advisor, a JAQ is
needed to clarify the duties.
If you need assistance or more information
on completing a JAQ you may contact your
designated HR Generalist.
