This guideline is a resource to campuses when determining position classifications.
A position title is another name for a job in the computerized business system. Each position title has a position standard, which describes aspects of the job. If circumstances indicate the use of a position standard other than those included here, the employing location may appoint an employee to an "unassigned" title code and then request a review of the job description by the Central Office of Human Resources. Certain titles are assigned for Central Office use only. Those titles are marked with a "+" in the position titles list and salary schedules.
Note: In the computerized business system, the Position field should not be used in the HR Assignment window. The position title is input into the job field. For nonemployees, choose "No Job Required" or "SUNY" for the job field.
The position standards in salary schedules 1 - 6 contains the Function and Scope, Typical Duties, Education, Experience and Special skills along with the Affirmative Action data which shows the job group and the category code for the job.
Position standards for Research Foundation position titles can be accessed by clicking on the position title in Salary Schedules 1 - 6 or in the alphabetical list of position titles. Use the following references to access these documents:
Salary Schedule 1 – Research Technical Support and Service Classification Series II
Salary Schedule 2 – Research Technical Support and Service Classification Series
Salary Schedule 3 – Research/Clinical Investigator Classification Series
Salary Schedule 4 – Project/Program Administration Classification Series
Salary Schedule 5 – Administration, Technical and Office Management
Salary Schedule 6 – Clerical and Office Support, Technical, and Research Specialists
Note: Designated student titles are listed in the Student Titles Policy.
This document contains an alphabetic list by title of all Research Foundation (RF) position titles. An exempt position must meet the duties test for administrative, executive, professional or computer exemptions. In addition, certain exempt positions must meet the federal and state minimum salary thresholds. If a position meets the duties test for exemption, but the employee is not paid at least the minimum salary threshold, the position must be classified as nonexempt and assigned the corresponding N/E. grade as indicated on the chart below. A position that does not meet the duties test for exemption will be classified as nonexempt and is therefore subject to meeting the NYS minimum wage for the region.
This list is nearly the same as the Job list of values in the RF's computerized business system. These are the only titles approved for appointing employees to the Research Foundation payroll. The Student Titles Policy lists which position titles are designated as student titles.
The list provides the title, grade, an indicator of whether this position is exempt or nonexempt based on the FLSA duties tests, whether it requires license or certification, the date the position standard was issued, and whether or not the position is required to meet the NYS Salary Threshold for Exemption, the Federal Salary Threshold for Exemption or the Nonexempt NYS minimum wage.
Select positions titles are for Central Office use only, these titles are marked with a "+".Each title is linked to its Position Standard.
Note: In the Oracle business application, the position title is input into the job field. For the job field, you may also choose "No Job Required" or "SUNY" for nonemployees.
