BOP Program Statement 3510.10 § 2

a. Human Resource Managers (HRMs) are responsible for assuring integration of

classification with other phases of Human Resource (HR) management and providing technical

guidance in all phases of the classification process. They provide assistance to supervisors and

managers on issues pertaining to position classification procedures.

HRMs are responsible for providing a copy of the approved SF-52 and revised organizational

chart to Classification and Compensation Section (CCS) if an action abolishes a unique PD.

These PDs are considered appropriate only when there are significant differences in the major

duties performed when compared to those in an existing SPD. When CCS notifies the HRM of

new classification standards for a non-standardized PD, the HRM must submit an updated PD.

HRMs will ensure supervisors are provided copies of the appropriate PD for issuance to

employees upon entry into a new position or if changes are made to an existing PD. HRMs are

required to ensure a position is essential, soundly designed, adequately described, and classified

by the Classification and Compensation Section (CCS) prior to announcing a vacancy. HRMs

consult with supervisors prior to the implementation of a PD to ensure appropriateness. HRMs

are responsible for assisting staff with requests for desk audits and questions concerning position

classification.

b. Supervisors are responsible for determining the duties and responsibilities of positions and

for writing PDs for those positions not covered by a SPD. They are required to ensure accuracy

of PDs prior to requesting a vacancy be announced. Supervisors must also ensure SPDs are

appropriate for use at their location.

c. Employees are responsible for being familiar with and performing the duties and

responsibilities outlined in their PD. Questions or discrepancies should be brought to their

supervisor’s attention.
