Iowa Admin. Code r. 681-3.25
The merit system director, in consultation with the resident directors and subject to the approval of the board of regents, shall develop and maintain a classification plan so that all positions that are substantially similar and comparable in regard to the kind and difficulty of work and the level of responsibility are included in the same class, so that the same minimum qualifications are required for all positions in the same class (except as provided in 3.69(2)), so that the same pay schedule may be equitably applied (except for geographical differences) to all positions in the class. For each class the plan will include a class title, a definition of the job, examples of the kind of work performed, statements of knowledges, skills and abilities, and the minimum qualifications for the class.
