The Howard County Classification Plan is a job schematic covering all officers and employees in the classified and exempt service of the merit system excepting those positions identified in Section 1.111.(a)(2) and Section 1.111.(b)(5) of the Howard County Code or under the conflicting provisions of Section 1.111.(e)(1). The Classification Plan contains information on occupational groups, class families, and the qualifications, duties, FLSA status, and general requirements for each position classification contained in the Plan.
The Classification Plan is administered by the Office of Human Resources, under authority of the Personnel Officer, in accordance with Section 1.201. of the Howard County Code. Revisions to the Classification Plan are submitted by the County Executive to the Personnel Board for approval and then transmitted to the County Council for legislative action.
