Caree Level Factor Definitions

Impact: Degree that a position’s work assignments have on the achievement of an overall mission, program, or objective. This factor measures positive effects rather than adverse impact resulting from error.
Discretion/Latitude: Degree of judgment, research, analysis, and innovative thinking required to perform the work of the position. Independence is given to policies and procedures which are provided as reference documents, but the position is expected to identify potential areas of improvement or refinement.
Skill/Knowledge: The depth of knowledge, skills, and abilities required to satisfactorily perform all responsibilities assigned to the position and/or on-the-job experience. The level/type of knowledge may be impacted by a position’s requirement for a particular skill or job requirement.
