Professional Managerial Position Evaluation System

This evaluation system is designed to determine the appropriate level for most professional managerial positions in the Group 3 of the Equitable Classification Plan. This system evaluates professional positions with less than division-level status that supervise at least one professional or equivalent subordinate position or two or more non-professional subordinate positions. Positions in certain professional managerial classifications may be allocated by Civil Service approved alternative standards described in the specifications for the classification (i.e., Physicians, Administrative Law Examiners, etc.)  

Factor I - Supervision Exercised  

This factor measures the type and level of supervision exercised. For this factor evaluation, professional positions are defined as those positions, which require an incumbent to possess a bachelor's degree or higher as stated in the Civil Service job specifications. Only non-professional positions/subordinates allocated at the ECP 11 level or higher are considered equivalent to professional position for the purposes of this factor rating.

  Factor II - Nature of Work  

This factor measures the nature of work being performed by rating the complexity of the work, the impact the work has on other programs, the nature of the guidelines available to carry out the work, and the type of direction received by the position.  

Structural Limitations on Managerial Concept Applications  

The highest level of management must be evaluated first and the lower levels evaluated in descending order. This is because a superior position must equal or exceed the rating of a subordinate position on both the complexity and direction received factors. To do otherwise, could result in a subordinate position being at the same level as its supervisor.
