Ln D � W Ga B. Fortifying and improving employee performance - by identifying strong • 2 and weak points in individual achievement, recording these as crLZ objectively as possible, and providing constructive counsel to each o worker. U aC. Refinement and validation of personnel techniques - serving as a check on qualification requirements, examinations, placement techniques, III N training needs, or instances of maladjustment. O CO D. Establishment of an objective base for personnel actions - namely, in selection for placement and promotion, in awarding salary advancements within a given level, in making other awards, in determining the order of retention at times of staff reduction, and in otherwise recognizing superior or inferior service.

Facilitating personnel objectives: N H N Cr] 1. It provides a rational criterion for control of pay levels by r m making it possible to equate whole classes of positions with wcommon salary ranges. in z riw rim 2.

It defines in objective terms the content of jobs (or what is a expected) against which the performance of incumbents (how well it en en in ri is done) can be measured. O M rH ri 4. It furnishes job information upon which the content of orientation • G and other in-service training can be based. 5. Although it does not of itself guarantee a good promotion and placement policy, it supplies a systematic picture of opportunities and position relationships, which is essential to an orderly promotion and placement procedure. 6. It provides a foundation for common understanding between supervisor and employee as to the job and pay, which facilitates employee-management relations and helps promote work-centered motivation.

If the Department Head/Elected Official questions the appropriateness of the classification he can request a job audit by Personnel if one has not been done for the position within one year.
