Question: Could you describe the job audit process?

Answer: In broad terms, the job audit process is one which determines the title, pay, and FLSA status of a position classification based on the duties and responsibilities of a position. During a job audit, a representative of the Human Resources compensation section will review the incumbent’s job duties and responsibilities. Often an audit meeting is conducted during which time the incumbent and supervisor can provide further information about the nature, responsibilities, and any other pertinent information they wish to offer about the job. The auditor will carefully consider all information obtained and make a recommendation to the Director of Human Resources.


Question: If an employee has one incident where they did not follow policy/procedure but other than that they are excellent employees, how badly does this effect their appraisal when asked if the employee complies with policy and procedure if they were counseled on the incident?

Answer: Ultimately it would depend on the nature of the incident, but generally a single incident during the appraisal period would not significantly effect the compliance statement on the performance appraisal.
