Job Classification Request Instructions

I. Overview

UNG HR Compensation is now using HR ClassifyNow within the UNG ServiceNow web application to review, process, and track compensation requests including new classifications, reclassifications, job description updates, and salary/equity reviews. This new process replaces the emailing of position descriptions via email, as we are asking for you to submit the information in the new ServiceNow format.

Please log onto the ServiceNow website using your UNG username and password.

The below screenshot depicts the path to the Job Classification Request application.

II. Create a New Request

A department user can submit a new compensation request to UNG HR Compensation for review. This can be used for new classifications, reclassifications, job description updates, and salary/equity adjustment requests.

Please see following tabs for screen shots and directions. It may be helpful to use a current position description to fill in the required fields in ClassifyNow.

At any step in the process, if you have questions, please contact Amy Collins (678-717-2253 or amy.collins@ung.edu).
