Position Descriptions

Forms

Accurate and up-to-date position descriptions are an important component for evaluating performance and for ensuring an employee is at the correct pay level.  Position descriptions also aid in making decisions about fair and competitive pay.

Below are links to the Classification Request Form and the Position Description Form.  Supervisors should complete both forms when reorganizing departments, creating new positions, looking to fill vacant positions or submitting positions for evaluation and reclassification.

UT Knoxville, UT Institute of Agriculture, and Institute of Public Service should use this link for staff classification review requests. Be prepared to upload a completed Position Description Form and departmental organizational chart with the request.  Requests should only be submitted by college/area HR contacts to UTK HR – Compensation using this form. Please work with your HR contact if you have a review request.

In order to utilize these forms, you should use the most up-to-date version of Adobe Acrobat.  If you typically use Firefox for your browser, please try another browser to download the forms.

Completed forms should be submitted to the campus or institute Human Resources Office.
