S.C. Code Regs. § 19-702.03

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 5, May 24, 2024

Section 19-702.03 - CLASS SPECIFICATIONS

A. Each class specification shall describe in general terms examples of the kind of work and level of responsibility normally assigned positions that may be allocated to the class. The exact duties and responsibilities of positions allocated to any one class may differ; however, all positions allocated to a class shall be sufficiently similar as to kind of work, level of difficulty or responsibility, and qualification requirements.

B. The Office of Human Resources shall develop class specifications which include the following:

1. Class Title and Code.

2. General Nature of Work--the brief statement summarizing the work to be performed by individuals in this class.

3. Guidelines for Class Use/Distinguishing Characteristics--the brief statement summarizing the level of work performed, the breadth of job responsibilities, and level of supervision given or received. This regulation may be omitted if it is not needed for further clarification.

4. Examples of Work--statements of duties that reflect responsibility common to positions in the class, but not necessarily fully descriptive of any one position in the class.

5. Knowledge, Skills and Abilities--a list of individual characteristics each of which is required for the successful performance of one or more job duties of the class, but not necessarily fully descriptive of the requirements for any one position in the class.

6. Necessary Special Requirements--statements of professional or physical requirements, such as licensure or certification, which may be mandatory for some or all positions in the class. This regulation may be omitted if it is not needed for further clarification.

7. Minimum Requirements--a statement of the minimum combination of education and experience required for the satisfactory performance of the duties of positions in the class, but not necessarily fully descriptive of the education and experience required for any one position in the class. For an equivalency to substitute for the minimum requirements, an agency must submit a written request to the State Human Resources Director for approval.

C. Current class specifications shall be maintained by OHR. The Office of Human Resources will notify agencies of any revisions and additions to the class specifications.
