Appendix A: Criteria for an In-Range Progression
Assigned Application of Enhanced Skills:
A growth in skills or the development of new skills and abilities required by the position as determined by management and
regularly applied by the incumbent. The enhanced new skills and abilities must be consistent with the requirements of the
classification and/or applicable skill level. By acquiring these enhanced skills, the employee takes on additional
responsibilities which do not warrant movement of the position into a higher classification/skill level. Information must be
submitted identifying the time spent performing responsibilities resulting from acquisition of the enhanced new skills must
be linked to the position’s essential duties and are not isolated, infrequent, non-essential or temporary duties. (CSUEU,
SETC and UAPD)
Extraordinary Performance:
Employee's job performance is exceptional in comparison to job requirements and the employee has made significant
contributions to the goals and objectives of the University and the unit. There must be a current performance evaluation on
file, and the employee’s overall rating should reflect “Outstanding”. A performance evaluation that reflects the current
evaluations period must be attached to the request at the time of submission and description of the contributions and
performance included in the request. (CSUEU, APC, SETC and SUPA)
Increased Responsibilities and Skills:
Permanent and significant increase in responsibilities that does not warrant movement of the position into a higher
classification/skill level. These responsibilities must be reflected in the position description. An updated position description
may be needed. (APC and SUPA)
Increased Workload:
A permanent increase in duties and responsibilities by management as the result of a re-organization due to attrition or the
permanent loss of a position. The reassignment of duties among existing positions within the organization unit shall remain
within the classification and will not warrant movement of the position into a higher classification/skill level. These
responsibilities must be reflected in the position description. An updated position description may be needed. (CSUEU and
SETC)
Long Term Service:
Ten years or more of full-time, continuous service. There must be a current performance evaluation on file and the
employee’s overall rating must reflect “Meets Expectations.” (SETC)
New Lead Work or Project Coordination:
New lead work or project coordination is given to an employee on an on-going basis by an appropriate administrator, where
classification standards do not have lead work or project coordination as a typical responsibility. For example, a Custodian
who is assigned lead work responsibility, on a permanent basis should be considered for a reclass to Lead Custodian, not
an IRP. (CSUEU and SETC)
Out of classification work that does not warrant reclassification:
New, higher level, additional out of class duties and responsibilities determined by management and applied by the
incumbent that do not warrant movement of the position into a higher classification/skill level. The amount of new duties or
the percentage of time spent performing the new duties are not significant enough to warrant reclassification. The out of
classification work represents 5% or less of the position duties. These responsibilities must be reflected in the position
description. An updated position description may be needed. (CSUEU and SETC)
Retention:
When a current employee receives an offer of employment from an external organization. It is necessary to describe how
retaining the employee is critical to the ongoing operation of the department. Formal documentation must be provided on
the organization’s letterhead and signed. (CSUEU, SETC and UAPD)
