Clerical, technical and production positions within the Madison Metropolitan School District are classified according to a job-to-job comparison method which evaluates and weights four basic determinants of relative internal job value that exist in all of these positions in varying degrees. Each determinant is further divided into related factors, as shown here:

III. Responsibility

IV. Working Conditions
Environmental factors such as noise, temperature, health hazards, etc.
Once evaluated according to the four determinants and nine evaluation factors specified above, each position is classified into one of 11 grades on the clerical, technical and production positions' Classification and Salary Schedule.
