A Classification Compliance Review Report on Property Management and Procurement Positions at Article VI Agencies

June 2023

Overview

The State Auditor’s Office’s State Classification Team reviewed 306 employees in property management and procurement positions at eight state agencies within Article VI (Natural Resources) of the General Appropriations Act (87th Legislature). The majority of employees within the scope of this review were classified correctly. Only 38 (12.4 percent) of the 306 employees reviewed were misclassified.

Employees classified in jobs found within the Property Management and Procurement occupational category perform work such as administering grant development, evaluating and managing contracts, purchasing goods and services, and managing buildings and fleet operations.

JOB CLASSIFICATION ANALYSIS

The majority of the 38 misclassifications resulted from agencies’ classifying an employee in the incorrect job classification series based on the employee’s duties. Agencies with misclassified employees asserted that they would be able to take corrective actions without changing employees’ salaries.
