HRMS will be updated to reflect Targeted Job Classification changes resulting from the 2023-25 Collective Bargaining cycle and Enacted Budgets effective July 1, 2023. Agency review and action is necessary.
Targeted Job Classification Increases:
Automatic updates to implement the targeted job classification increases and updates will occur the last week of June 2023. This update will create new:
Planned compensation records for job classifications and positions
Position to job relationships for shadow classes
Basic pay records
Organizational assignment records, if applicable
Please note, exceptions to the updates requiring agency action may include:
Existing job classifications where some positions require reallocation to a newly created or updated job classification,
Directly Valued Employees, and
Employees with a job to person relationship
Agency Actions Required:
The 2023-25 Targeted Job Classification Changes spreadsheet identifies the changes that OFM will be implementing through an automatic process to incorporate job classification and compensation changes as a result of the 2023-2025 Collective Bargaining cycle and Enacted Budgets effective July 1, 2023.
See the “OFM ITS/Agency Action” column to determine whether OFM is in-whole, or in-part providing programmatic updates and take all other necessary steps/actions to ensure accurate updates are made to job, position, and employee records in HRMS.
Job classifications may be impacted by multiple actions and will appear in each “type”. For example, a job classification with class plan maintenance and a base range increase will appear in each category because there is work for both the agencies and OFM in that case.
Once these changes are made, agencies will receive a final list of the changes for individual agencies to validate.
The detailed documents of all proposed changes are available at hr.wa.gov within the public notice of the June 22, 2023 State HR Director’s Special Meeting.
Final List
By July 6, 2023, OFM will send agencies a final list of targeted job classifications, positions and employees who were automatically updated. Agencies will have until July 20, 2023, to review and make manual updates in HRMS in time for the July 25, 2023, pay date. There will be exceptions which will be on a separate tab for agencies to take necessary action, such as employees in y-rate status.
