Transaction A63 - Reclassification / In-Classification Progression

General Information | Audit Instructions | Audit Messages

Used to change an employee's classification or position skill level within a given classification. A reclassified position may involve a level of duties and/or salary that are higher, lower or equivalent and normally involves a formal job review, desk audit or may be the result of the implementation of new class standards. An in-classification progression is distinguished from a reclassification in that it provides for movement between position skill levels in the same classification. Movement to a higher skill level is accompanied by at least a 5% salary increase or movement to the minimum of the new skill level.

The distinction between a reclassification / in-classification progression and a promotion (A64 transaction) is there is no recruitment activity for a reclassification / in-classification progression. For Affirmative Action purposes, reclassifications / in-classification progressions and promotions are reported differently.
