Local Employment Policy Handbook - ICASS

Once HR gets the appropriate American pay plan grade, the grade is valid for future recruitment and
staffing of the position unless:
A. The supervisor makes significant changes to the duties and responsibilities, and/or:
B. The supervisor makes significant changes to the duties and responsibilities that also changes the
series of the position, thereby creating a new position requiring recruitment; or
C. The supervisor changes the education requirement of the job, thereby creating a new position
requiring recruitment or
D. The supervisor changes the language requirement of the job, thereby creating a new position
requiring recruitment.
HR must complete a new CAJE evaluation for all of the above. (See the Local Employment Recruitment
Policy Guidebook for the one exception to C and D above that does not create a new position requiring
recruitment.)
HR must keep a subject file titled “American Pay Plan Authorizations” that documents approval of the
American pay plan grade by the appropriate US headquarters agency.
