INTRODUCTION
This standard describes the classification plan used to
determine the relative difficulty of jobs allocated to the
Dentistry Group. It consists of an introduction, definitions of
the Scientific and Professional Category and the Dentistry Group,
level descriptions and bench-mark position descriptions.
The level description method is used to classify jobs
allocated to the Dentistry Group. Each of the three levels in the
classification plan is described in terms of the primary features
used to assign jobs to the level. Jobs are regarded as being of
equal difficulty and are assigned to the same level when the
duties and responsibilities best correspond, on the whole, with
the description of that level and the bench-mark position
descriptions that exemplify the level.
Bench-mark Positions
Bench-mark position descriptions exemplify each level. Each
description consists of a brief summary of duties, a list of the
primary duties, and a statement of the distinguishing features of
the position. The bench-mark position descriptions are an
integral part of the plan and are used to ensure consistency in
applying the level descriptions.
Use of the Standard
Four steps are to be followed in applying this
classification standard.
- The position description is studied to ensure
understanding of the position as a whole. The relation of the
position being evaluated to positions above and below it in the
organization is also studied.
- The allocation of the position to the category and group
is confirmed by reference to the definitions and the descriptions
of inclusions and exclusions.
- The position is tentatively assigned to a level by
comparing the duties and responsibilities of the position with
the level descriptions. The position is tentatively assigned to
that level that best corresponds on the whole with the duties and
responsibilities of the position.
- The description of the position being evaluated is
compared with the descriptions of the bench-mark positions
illustrating the level tentatively selected, and comparisons are
also made with the descriptions of bench-mark positions for the
levels above and below the level tentatively selected, as a check
on the validity of the level selected.
CATEGORY DEFINITION
Occupational categories were repealed by the Public Service Reform Act (PSRA),
effective April 1, 1993. Therefore, the occupational category definitions have
been deleted from the classification standards.
GROUP DEFINITION
For occupational group allocation, it is recommended that you use the Occupational
Group Definition Maps, which provide the 1999 group definition and their
corresponding inclusion and exclusion statements. The maps explicitly link the
relevant parts of the overall 1999 occupational group definition to each
classification standard.
LEVEL DESCRIPTIONS
Level 1
This level includes those positions whose incumbents are
responsible primarily for diagnosing and treating dental
conditions. Managerial responsibilities at this level are
incidental and typically include supervising and training a
dental assistant, scheduling one's own work, requisitioning
equipment and supplies, and recommending the purchase of new
dental equipment and supplies.
Level 2
This level includes those positions whose incumbents are
responsible for administering a dental program in a clinic,
public health area or small hospital and for diagnosing and
treating dental conditions. Managerial responsibilities at this
level typically include controlling a staff of dental personnel,
developing and administering a budget, obtaining services of and
authorizing payments to private dental practitioners, and
determining the eligibility of patients for dental treatment.
Level 3
This level includes those positions whose incumbents are
responsible primarily for administering a dental program in a
geographical region or a large hospital. Diagnosing and treating
dental conditions may constitute a secondary responsibility of
some positions. Managerial responsibilities at this level
typically include controlling a staff of dentists and Para dental
personnel and coordinating their activities, reviewing reports
submitted by junior dentists, assessing the quality of treatment
provided by junior dentists, and developing and administering a
budget.
Also included at this level are positions whose incumbents are
responsible for providing advice and conducting comprehensive
studies in the field of dental public health.
