Information Technology (IT) Classification Study Introduction

The University of Arizona's Human Resource Department, in cooperation with IT staff across the university, is conducting a classification study of Classified Staff IT positions. This study will analyze IT activities throughout the University and will include almost 600 employees in close to 50 Classified Staff IT job titles (job codes 71700-72200) and other Classified Staff employees who dedicate at least 75% of their time to performing IT functions. These employees represent 25 Colleges and Divisions and over 150 Departments.

The study will be conducted in several phases:

  • Gain approval & communicate with stakeholders
  • Gather job content information through a brief online survey and Job Analysis Meetings (JAM Sessions)
  • Analyze job content data and compare to existing job descriptions
  • Develop classification structures
  • Draft new/revised job descriptions
  • Incorporate new/revised IT jobs into annual Classified Staff maintenance review
