When raising a staff request, you are required to select a position type. It is important that you refer closely to the Staff request and Contract Decision Matrix when selecting the position type, because this instructs the reward team as to which process the request should follow. Choosing an incorrect position type may lead to your staff request having to be rejected and resubmitted.
The table below shows the position types and additional information which instruct the Reward team how to process the staff request:
| Position type | Key additional information |

Jobs will not require full evaluation if the analyst can match the post to a generic JD, a previous grading or if comparable roles have been graded recently and a grade check can be carried out. Please therefore provide any information in relation to the job description in the additional information of the staff request, as it may enable us to process the request more swiftly. It is at the discretion of the reward team as to whether a job description requires grading or not and a job description should be attached to all requests regardless of whether or not grading is required.
