“The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.” -Alan Watts (philosopher, writer & speaker)
Why Band? • Old system is outdated • Pay is based on current market rates • Pay movement is based on the development of competencies • Gives management more flexibility to set pay rates • Creates more emphasis on career development
Competency Defined Competencies: • The set of knowledge, skills, abilities and behaviors that employees must demonstrate to be successful in their jobs and to support the organization's mission and goals. • Competencies can be taught, learned, measured, monitored and improved through training and development.

Salary Grade Equivalency • Set by OSP for each banded class • Used for promotional priority and RIF
Internal Postings Internal to: • DHHS or • State Government • Manager may wish to develop current employees or have specific skills only found internally • Must have Central HR approval • Must still be posted on the web (Don’t use the PMJOB code)
Description of Work • Main or primary responsibilities of the position • Range of duties based on the business need • May include description of facility, unit, reporting, shift
Knowledge, Skills, Abilities & Behaviors “Meat” of the posting – what will be screened. To develop the KSAs: • Review the Position Description and Competency Profile for essential competencies • Review previous Work Plans • Talk to incumbent employee
Training & Experience • Will default from PMJOBS • Minimum Qualifications the same for all levels: • Contributing • Journey • Advanced
Hard to Fill Positions • "If there are no applicants who have the required _______ level competencies listed in the Knowledge, Skills, Abilities, and Competencies section, management may consider other applicants who have lower _______ level competencies at a salary range of [ xxxxx - zzzzz].”
Vacancy Posting • Is the primary purpose and scope of job captured? • Do the competencies accurately reflect the most important job functions? • Will it allow you to include applicants? • Does it attract applicants? • Are requirements appropriate to the level?
PMJOBS • Utilize working titles • Broad salary range will default i.e. for Technology Support Technician $20,910 - $43,550 • Eventually, salary range for C, J, A will default. You may type over this and enter a hiring range.
Screening • Consult with hiring manager • Know the position • Know the job requirements • Minimum T&E • Minimum KSAs & behavioral competencies
IntroducingExecutive Order 30 **New procedure for DHHS** Effective soon! • Allows hiring managers to participate in screening for highly qualified applicants • Eliminates HQ screening on the basis of the size of the Q applicant pool • Subject matter expert may report to hiring manager
Screening ApplicationsHR will screen for minimally qualified: • T&E (Training and education), and • Minimum competencies (KSAs and behaviors) listed on the vacancy announcement.
Screening Applications Human Resources: • Must not compare applicants to applicants • Must reference job requirements listed on the vacancy announcement
Screening Applications Hiring Manager: • May determine “highly qualified” candidates from the “qualified” pool • May opt to continue to have HR perform this duty • Must document on the Applicant Selection Log HQ
Highly Qualified • HQ applicants are groups of applicants who, to the greatest extent, possess qualifications which exceed the requirements described in the vacancy announcement. • HQ applicant may have: • Higher level of program or technical knowledge, or, • More years of directly related experience, or, • More relevant education or training than “qualified” applicants
Preferences • Human Resources must not use preferences to screen for minimally qualified (Q) • Hiring manager and/or Human Resources will determine HQ applicants based on those who exceed the minimal posted requirements. Preferences should not be used exclusively to screen for HQ applicants • Hiring manager may consider preferences when making selection decisions (e.g. interview candidates and/or finalist candidate) Note: A candidate may be HQ without possessing preferences
Employment Priority Considerations • PROMOTIONAL PRIORITY • REDUCTION-IN-FORCE (RIF)
Impact of Promotional Priority on Banded Positions • Promotional Priority – depends on salary grade equivalency for banded class Note: Career Banding provides more opportunity to progress within the banded class
Impact of RIF on Banded Positions • RIF priority – established based on salary grade equivalency for banded class • RIF applicants must meet the competency and training & experience requirements stated on the vacancy announcement
“Promotion” • Employee movement from one career-banded class to another with a higher journey market rate (JMR) - for example, from technician level to analyst.
TRADITIONAL Focuses on: Educational background Applicant’s personality Years of experience Salary history and requirements COMPETENCY-BASED Focuses on: Questions developed to obtain job specific data (not vague or theoretical) Job-related behaviors Collecting measurable applicant information Interviewing Approaches
Behavioral-Based Interviewing (Structured Interview) • Same questions asked of every candidate • Uses past experience to predict future success • Evaluates competencies against target job requirements (Knowledge, Skills, Abilities, Behaviors) • Use STAR method
Behavioral Based Interviewing Past behavior is the best predictor of future success.
Behavioral Based Interviewing • Valid • Reliable • Defensible • Uses essential job functions
STAR • Situation or Task – the situation or problem leading to the applicant’s actions • Action – active attempts to affect a change or influence events • Result – the outcome of the applicant’s actions
