Creating a New Position and Reclassifying an Existing Position
Any time a department wishes to establish a new permanent position, the department must submit a Job Analysis Questionnaire (JAQ). JAQs are also submitted when a department is requesting the reclassification of a current permanent position. The purpose of a JAQ is to request a review of a position, to measure performance, and assist in appropriately classifying a position.
