HMLU1 – Functional Job Class Information

Screen: HMLU1
Prerequisites: H7OU1
Key Fields: AGENCY, JOB CLASS CODE, FUNC JOB CLASS, POSITION TYPE, EFFECTIVE DATE

Note: Use this screen to establish valid functional job class codes for the agency’s classified, unclassified and exempt positions. This is not a mandatory table. An agency may establish functional job classes for some job classes and not for others, or an agency may totally bypass this table. Functional job classes can be used to break down a job class to agency-specific job classes and job titles. When functional job classes are used, the functional job title overrides the job class job title on reports.
