  • In the case of a difference of opinion, the case is referred to the HR Assistant Director (Operations) for a final decision
  • Further to the decision of the HR job evaluation panel, the Head of HR or representative is responsible for informing the Head of College/Corporate Service or nominee, and post-holder, of the grading outcome.
