27 Miss. Code. R. 110-5.3.1
MSPB provides for the adjustment in classification of a position through the title change process when the Office of Classification, Compensation, and Recruitment determines that significant job content, responsibility, and accountability changes have occurred.
Downward and lateral title change requests are processed throughout the year. Upward title changes are typically requested through the legislative budget process in accordance with the provisions of the Staff Management Planning Instructions for the appropriate fiscal year. However, each agency head shall have the opportunity to document the need for a title change by demonstrating that a bona fide staffing need exists that cannot be adequately addressed through normal budget procedures. MSPB will consider title changes outside the legislative process only upon certification by the agency director that adequate funds are available. The submission of any transaction through OSR shall be considered an official request from the agency head or appointing authority. Such submission shall serve as certification that adequate funding is available.
