As the foundation upon which all classification and compensation decisions are based, there should be underlying concepts that clearly identify how levels of work are titled, differences within these job levels and how different levels are distinguished. Allocation factors should be established and utilized consistently throughout each analysis. This is particularly important in large organizations with multiple classifications that may overlap. An effective plan must be defensible, comprehensive, clearly understood, and accountable, all of which should be balanced with ease of administration. To accomplish this, classification decisions should be timely, and conducted in a collaborative manner which maintains the integrity of the process. HR Allen conducts the full range of classification studies for small and large clients including the development of classification concepts and structures, job audits, allocation of positions into the appropriate classification and the development or revision of classification specifications.
