What is inside
Taken from the kit’s own Start Here guide, so what you see here is what you open after checkout.
How to use it
Start with the Field Guide in step 1 and finish with the Classification Determination Record in step 5.
Read the Field Guide first. It covers writing the role, reviewing exempt or non-exempt classification, evaluating contractor status, and understanding pay disclosure rules.
Use the Workbook's Classification Screen to review the role. If you are engaging a contractor, use the Contractor Risk Check to evaluate the work.
Set your Levels and Bands so the range you offer is grounded, and check the Pay-Range Posting Map for what your state requires.
Open the Word templates. Start from the JD template or adapt one of the three examples, set an honest pay range, and use the offer-stage note where disclosure is required.
Document the decision on the Classification Determination Record before posting or making an offer, and keep it on file.
