What are the steps in the process? 

Communication: Once your classification study Phase begins, you will receive email communication and instructions. An introductory Zoom meeting will be scheduled.

Data Collection: EH&A will begin gathering information on the jobs being reviewed. You are the important first step in the data collection, each phase of the study starts with a Google Form questionnaire designed for you to provide key information about the job that you do. 

Interviews : A representative from EH&A will directly interview some or all of the employees who have your same job description title. The purpose of the interview will be to clarify the information you provide in the questionnaire. Separate interviews will also be held with your supervisor(s).
