Compensation Guidelines
Job
Descriptions
All benefits-eligible staff positions covered by this compensation program shall have a generic job description that includes the official University of Houston job title and code, a general job summary, a list of major duties and responsibilities, and job requirements (i.e., minimum education, experience and other qualification requirements that an individual should have to fill the position).
The official job title on the job description will be used for all personnel records and publications. (For internal purposes, however, departments may use a different functional title.) New official job titles may be created only with the prior review and approval by the Human Resources Department.
Job descriptions are used to:
- evaluate and classify jobs to determine appropriate internal position relationships
- provide job information that can be used to determine competitive pay relationships in the labor market
- provide job information that can be
used to determine appropriate career
paths for job families
- provide job information which can be used in the recruitment and selection process
- provide job information which can be used in performance review, and, employee identification of training and development needs
Changes in the duties of a job may require re-analysis and re-evaluation of a job. Where changes are judged significant by the supervisor and/or manager, he/she should complete a Job Analysis Questionnaire (JAQ) and solicit review by the appropriate college or division business administrator. The college or division business administrator signs the JAQ and forwards it to the Human Resources Department where it will be reviewed according to established procedures.
