What is the difference between my Position Description and the position competencies assigned to me in CMS?
• Position descriptions are used in the classification process. Whereas in CMS, competencies are assigned to Positions and used for workforce planning purposes. A position description (PD) clearly states the principal duties, responsibilities, and supervisory relationships of a position as well as additional information, the knowledge required by the position, guidelines, complexity, scope and effect, personal contacts, nature of contacts, physical demands and work environment. Guidance for assigning values in the classification process comes from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Classification Standards and the NASA Supplemental Classification System. Some of the values assigned in the classification process (e.g., OPM series, grade level, NASA Classification Code, etc.) can be used for workforce planning at a general level, but one of the primary purposes of the classification process is to ensure that in the federal pay system, there will be equal pay for equal work.
