Can we make reclassifications retroactive?
Filed under Classification and Compensation.
No. Reclassifications of USPS and TEAMS employees cannot be implemented retroactively. Classification and Compensation will notify the department when a reclassification is approved, and the notification will include the earliest allowed effective date. The department may implement the employee’s new title, along with any applicable salary increase, on the effective date communicated by Classification and Compensation, or on a convenient date soon thereafter, such as the first day of the next pay period. However, the reclassification may not be implemented retroactive to the effective date communicated by Classification and Compensation. Accordingly, it is important for departments to submit reclassification proposals in a timely manner.
