  1. Job Family – This is the broadest of the terms and consists of various jobs involving work of the same nature but requiring different levels of skill and responsibility.
  2. Job Title – Describes in a general way a group of similar positions at the same level.
  3. Pay Grade – Pay grade defines the point in the hierarchy where the job fits. Refer to Policy/Procedure No. HRO430 Job Classification.

Adding, Changing, and Deleting Job Titles

A campus or institute may make a proposal to add, change, or delete a job title, working with Human Resources-Compensation. A committee of representatives from each campus/institute will review the proposal and make a determination. The job title list will be updated to reflect any approved changes.
