Class Description
Valid as of: July 1, 2018
This class series uses six levels in the Professional Services Occupational Group and describes positions that provide a variety of program compliance review activities. Positions may perform professional compliance work in licensing, pre-licensing, continuing education, and registration activities. These positions determine compliance with laws and regulated activities administered by the state and other federal/local regulatory government entities. The work involves conducting reviews of public program recipients and counties, facilities, businesses, and providers who administer and deliver various programs to determine compliance with applicable program statutes, regulations, policies, procedures, and quality standards. Positions may identify deficiencies and prepare corrective action plans; recommend issuance, denial, or revocation of licenses; review complaints and recommend changes in procedures and policies; provide technical assistance and advice such as, interpreting and explaining guidelines, training employees and the public in rules and procedures; and performing other activities designed to assure programs operate properly.
Positions in this class may confer with the regulatory agencies of other states; research public and court records; analyze and summarize legal documents and records; determine compliance with laws, regulations and standards related to state certification, licensure, and education programs; identify and research non-compliance issues and negotiate to achieve resolution; approve license and registration applications; testify before regulatory boards and in formal hearings; develop educational publications and test materials; conduct audits of courses, and test sites; and, provide the public, government officials, and licensees with information and explanation of statutes and rules related to the appropriate entities.
Professional work is analytical and evaluative in nature. Decisions require the creative and conceptual application of theory and principles of a professional occupational field. A professional field is one in which knowledge is gained by completion of an advanced course of study resulting in a college degree or equivalent specialized experience. The professional nature of the work and the factors determine the level within this series.
COMPLIANCE SPECIALIST I (H1G1XX)
Concept of Class
This class describes the entry or clearly defined level. Entry level positions perform tasks that are structured and designed to provide training and experience. Tasks are performed under direct supervision and detailed instruction and guidance is received. Employees in this class learn to apply theories and principles of the professional field. Positions used for training purposes do not remain at this level indefinitely.
Clearly defined assignments require following established work processes and procedures. Positions operate within standard processes and alternatives that are known and any deviation from such requires prior approval. These assignments will not move beyond this level.
Factors
Allocation must be based on meeting all of the three factors as described below.
Decision Making
The decisions regularly made are at the defined level, as described here. Within limits prescribed by the operation, choices involve selecting alternatives that affect the manner and speed with which tasks are carried out. These choices do not affect the standards or results of the operation itself because there is typically only one correct way to carry out the operation. Alternatives include independent choice of such things as priority and personal preference for organizing and processing the work, proper tools or equipment, speed, and appropriate steps in the operation to apply. By nature, the data needed to make decisions can be numerous but are clear and understandable so logic is needed to apply the prescribed alternative. Positions can be taught what to do to carry out assignments and any deviation in the manner in which the work is performed does not change the end result of the operation.
Complexity
The nature of, and need for, analysis and judgment is prescribed, as described here. Positions apply established, standard guidelines that cover work situations and alternatives. Action taken is based on learned, specific guidelines that permit little deviation or change as the task is repeated. Any alternatives from which to choose are clearly right or wrong at each step.
Line/Staff Authority
The direct field of influence the work of a position has on the organization is as an individual contributor. The individual contributor may explain work processes and train others. The individual contributor may serve as a member of a collaborative problem-solving team. This level may include positions performing supervisory elements that do not fully meet the criteria for the next level in this factor. Note: some positions may lead or supervise others; however, those subordinate positions are not professional so the position does not meet all of the criteria for a higher level of Line/Staff Authority in this class series.
COMPLIANCE SPECIALIST II (H1G2XX)
Concept of Class
This class describes the intermediate level. Positions operate independently in performing assignments that are limited to phases of a fully operational professional assignment or which may be designed to provide continued training and experience. Work requires determining solutions to practical problems using specified professional standards and established criteria. Judgment is used to select and apply existing guidelines to solve problems and accomplish the assignment.
This class differs from the Compliance Specialist I on Decision Making and Complexity. Some assignments will not move beyond this level.
Factors
Allocation must be based on meeting all of the three factors as described below.
Decision Making
The decisions regularly made are at the operational level, as described here. Within limits set by the specific process, choices involve deciding what operation is required to carry out the process. This includes determining how the operation will be completed. By nature, data needed to make decisions are numerous and variable so reasoning is needed to develop the practical course of action within the established process. Choices are within a range of specified, acceptable standards, alternatives, and technical practices. For example, a position determines program compliance by following established review processes and applying the appropriate rule, regulation, or procedure.
Complexity
The nature of, and need for, analysis and judgment is patterned, as described here. Positions study technical information to determine what it means and how it fits together in order to get practical solutions to problems and tasks. Guidelines in the form of specific processes, techniques, and methods exist for most situations. Judgment is needed in locating and selecting the most appropriate of these guidelines which may change for varying circumstances as the task is repeated. This selection and interpretation of guidelines involves choosing from alternatives where all are correct but one is better than another depending on the given circumstances of the situation. For example, a position may obtain compliance or resolution of a problem by selecting and applying the proper program guideline which may result in recommendations for procedure changes to correct questionable practices, additional training, or clarification of rules depending on the specific case and judgment of a position.
Line/Staff Authority
The direct field of influence the work of a position has on the organization is as an individual contributor. The individual contributor may explain work processes and train others. The individual contributor may serve as a member of a collaborative problem-solving team. This level may include positions performing supervisory elements that do not fully meet the criteria for the next level in this factor. Note: some positions may lead or supervise others; however, those subordinate positions are not professional so the position does not meet all of the criteria for a higher level of Line/Staff Authority in this class.
COMPLIANCE SPECIALIST III (H1G3XX)
Concept of Class
This class describes the fully operational professional. Positions operate independently in performing the full range of professional tasks. Work requires the use of discretion and creativity within limits of theory and principles of the profession; management’s program objectives; law and regulations; and, general systems and guidelines. Judgment is used in the adaptation and skilled application of guidelines to solve the full range of problems related to the assignment. An employee in this class must anticipate and analyze the impact and consequences of decisions made. Positions may serve as a resource to others or a specialist in the professional field. Work involves planning and conducting program reviews; gathering and analyzing data on program or provider operations; determining deficiencies and areas requiring improvements; preparing corrective action plans; assuring plans are implemented to correct problems; and, performing other activities related to assuring programs are operated effectively in accordance with applicable guidelines.
This class differs from the Compliance Specialist II on Decision Making and Complexity. Some assignments will not move beyond this level.
Factors
Allocation must be based on meeting all of the three factors as described below.
Decision Making
The decisions regularly made are at the process level, as described here. Within limits set by professional standards, the agency’s available technology and resources, and program objectives and regulations established by a higher management level, choices involve determining the process, including designing the set of operations. For example, this position may determine the process for conducting audits of schools, researching application discrepancies, or evaluating applications. The general pattern, program, or system exists but must be individualized. For example, the process for reviewing and approving licensing applications is set, but must be individualized to each specific case.
This individualization requires analysis of data that is complicated. Analysis is breaking the problem or case into parts, examining these parts, and reaching conclusions that result in work processes. For example, positions analyze legal documents and public records, conduct inspections, and interview relevant parties when reviewing registration applications. This examination requires the application of known and established theory, principles, conceptual models, professional standards, and precedents in order to determine their relationship to the problem. For example, a position may plan and design individual program reviews to gather data, determine compliance issues, and formulate corrective action plans which include courses of action to be followed by other to improve program operations and/or achieve compliance with applicable guidelines and statutes. New processes or objectives require approval of higher management or the agency with authority and accountability for the program or system.
Complexity
The nature of, and need for, analysis and judgment is formulative, as described here. Positions evaluate the relevance and importance of theories, concepts, and principles in order to tailor them to develop a different approach or plan to fit specific circumstances. While general policy, precedent, or non-specific practices exist, they are inadequate and are therefore relevant only through approximation or analogy. For example, this position may draw analogies to decide what action is taken to resolve registration problems where regulations, policy or precedent is unclear. In conjunction with theories, concepts, and principles, positions use judgment and resourcefulness in tailoring the existing guidelines so they can be applied to particular circumstances and to deal with emergencies. For example, this position may tailor rules, procedures, forms, publications, exams, and policies to reflect legislative and regulatory changes.
Line/Staff Authority
The direct field of influence the work of a position has on the organization is as an individual contributor. The individual contributor may explain work processes and train others. The individual contributor may serve as a member of a collaborative problem-solving team. This level may include positions performing supervisory elements that do not fully meet the criteria for the next level in this factor. Note: some positions may lead or supervise others; however, those subordinate positions are not professional so the position does not meet all of the criteria for a higher level of Line/Staff Authority in this class.
COMPLIANCE SPECIALIST IV (H1G4XX)
Concept of Class
This class describes the work or leader or the staff authority. Work leaders exercise some control over the continual work product of others. Staff authorities possess a unique level of knowledge and expertise in a professional field that is needed by the agency to support its overall mission. Agency management routinely relies on the essential consultation of the authority before deciding broad, critical program and policy direction. The consultation provided is accepted as fact and not refuted on its technical merit, even if management does not act on it for political or budgetary reasons. Staff authorities are authorized to take action and issue expert opinions that provide direction for further action by others. Authorities design strategy, systems, processes, guidelines, rules, and standards that are mission critical and directly impact the agency’s ongoing operation and broad program or policy. Staff authority is delegated by agency management, beyond the immediate supervisor, and has direct influence and impact agency-wide, including clients.
This class differs from the Compliance Specialist III class on Line/Staff Authority and possibly Complexity.
Factors
Allocation must be based on meeting all of the three factors as described below.

OR
The nature of, and need for, analysis and judgment is strategic, as described here. Positions develop guidelines to implement a program that maintains the agency's mission. Guidelines do not exist for most situations. In directive situations, positions use judgment and resourcefulness to interpret circumstances in a variety of situations and establish guidelines that direct how a departmental/agency program will be implemented.
Line/Staff Authority
The direct field of influence the work of a position has on the organization is as a work leader or staff authority. The work leader is partially accountable for the work product of two or more full-time equivalent positions, including timeliness, correctness, and soundness. At least one of the subordinate positions must be a professional level in the same series or at a comparable conceptual level. Typical elements of direct control over other positions by a work leader include assigning tasks, monitoring progress and workflow, checking the product, scheduling work, and establishing work standards. The work leader provides input into supervisory decisions made at higher levels, including signing leave requests and approving work hours. This level may include positions performing supervisory elements that do not fully meet the criteria for the next level in this factor.
OR
The staff authority is a pacesetter who has a unique level of technical expertise in a field or profession that, as part of the ongoing permanent assignment, is critical to the success of an agency. It is an essential component of the work assignment that has been delegated by management to the position. This authority directly influences management decisions within an agency. For example, management relies on such a position when making decisions regarding the direction that policy or a program should take in the staff authority's field of expertise. Managers and peers recognize and seek this level of technical guidance and direction regarding the application of a program or system within the agency or to its clients.
COMPLIANCE SPECIALIST V (H1G5XX)
Concept of Class
This class describes the unit supervisor or senior authority. Supervisors exercise direct, formal control over others. Senior authorities possess a unique level of knowledge and expertise in a professional field that is needed by the agency to support its overall mission. Agency management routinely relies on the essential consultation of the authority before deciding broad, critical program and policy direction. The consultation provided is accepted as fact and not refuted on its technical merit, even if management does not act on it for political or budgetary reasons. Senior authorities are authorized to take action and issue expert opinions that provide direction for further action by others. Authorities design strategy, systems, processes, guidelines, rules, and standards that are mission critical and directly impact the agency’s ongoing operation and broad program or policy. Senior authority is delegated by agency management, beyond the immediate supervisor, and has direct influence and impact outside the agency to others in state government.
This class differs from the Compliance Specialist IV on Line/Staff Authority and possibly Complexity.
Factors
Allocation must be based on meeting all of the three factors as described below.

Line/Staff Authority
The direct field of influence the work of a position has on the organization is as a unit supervisor or senior authority. The unit supervisor is accountable, including signature authority, for actions and decisions that directly impact pay, status, and tenure of three or more fulltime equivalent positions. At least one the subordinate positions must be a professional level in the same series or at a comparable conceptual level. The elements of formal supervision must include providing documentation to support recommended corrective and disciplinary actions, signing performance plans and appraisals, and resolving informal grievances. Positions start the hiring process, interview applicants, and recommend hire, promotion, or transfer.
OR
The senior authority is a pacesetter who has a unique level of technical expertise in a field or profession that, as part of the ongoing permanent assignment, is critical to the success of an agency. It is an essential component of the work assignment that has been delegated by management to the position. This authority directly influences management decisions beyond the agency. Managers and peers seek this level of technical guidance and direction as the designer of a statewide system or in a subject area for other areas of state government. Managers and peers, both internally and externally to the agency, rely on this pacesetter when making decisions regarding the direction that policy, programs, and systems should take in the pacesetter’s field of expertise.
COMPLIANCE SPECIALIST VI (H1G6XX)
Concept of Class
This class describes the first-level of program supervision, including the unit supervisor or any one of the three levels of staff authority who meets the factors identified below for this class. Program supervisors manage the daily operation of a work unit. Positions determine the annual business plans that integrate with the agency’s mission and goals, determine implementation policies and guidelines, develop budgets, establish staffing and directly control the work of others. Work involves directing the implementation policies, rules, and regulations. Staff, senior, and leading authorities possess a unique level of knowledge and expertise in a professional field that is needed by the agency to support its overall mission. Management, inside and/or outside of the agency, routinely relies on the essential consultation of the authority before deciding broad, critical program and policy direction. The consultation provided is accepted as fact and not refuted on its technical merit, even if management does not act on it for political or budgetary reasons.
Authorities are authorized to take action and issue expert opinions that provide direction for further action by others. Authorities design strategy, systems, processes, guidelines, rules, and standards that are mission critical and directly impact the agency’s ongoing operation and broad program or policy. Staff, senior, and leading authority is delegated by agency management, beyond the immediate supervisor, and has direct influence and impact within or beyond the agency depending on the level of authority delegated to a position.
This class differs from the Compliance Specialist V on Decision Making and possibly Complexity and Line/Staff Authority.
Factors
Allocation must be based on meeting all of the three factors as described below.
Decision Making
The decisions regularly made are at the interpretive level, as described here. Within limits of the strategic master plan and allocated human and fiscal resources, choices involve determining tactical plans to achieve the objectives established by the highest management level. This involves establishing what processes will be done, developing the budget, and developing the staffing patterns and work units in order to deploy staff. This level includes inventing and changing systems and guidelines that will be applied by others statewide. For example, authorities design the strategy system, process, guidelines, rules and standards that are used by others in state government. While an authority may not directly supervise staff or a budget, such a position is often involved in formulation of budgets and staffing patterns as part of the design of a system. By nature, this is the first level where positions are not bound by processes and operations in their own programs as a framework for decision making and there are novel or unique situations that cause uncertainties that must be addressed at this level. Through deliberate analysis and experience with these unique situations, the manager or expert determines the systems, guidelines, and programs for the future.
Complexity
The nature of, and need for, analysis and judgment is formulative, as described here. Positions evaluate the relevance and importance of theories, concepts, and principles in order to tailor them to develop a different approach or plan to fit specific circumstances. While general policy, precedent, or non-specific practices exist, they are inadequate and are therefore relevant only through approximation or analogy. For example, this position may draw analogies to decide what action is taken to resolve registration problems where regulations, policy or precedent is unclear. In conjunction with theories, concepts, and principles, positions use judgment and resourcefulness in tailoring the existing guidelines so they can be applied to particular circumstances and to deal with emergencies. For example, this position may tailor rules, procedures, forms, publications, exams, and policies to reflect legislative and regulatory changes.
OR
The nature of, and need for, analysis and judgment is strategic, as described here. Positions develop guidelines to implement a program that maintains the agency's mission. Guidelines do not exist for most situations. In directive situations, positions use judgment and resourcefulness to interpret circumstances in a variety of situations and establish guidelines that direct how a departmental/agency program will be implemented.
OR
For a leading authority, the nature of, and need for, analysis and judgment is unprecedented, as described here. Positions originate models, concepts, and theories that are new to the professional field AND where no prototype exists in state government. At the leading edge, guidelines do not exist so judgment and resourcefulness are needed to develop them.
Line/Staff Authority
The direct field of influence the work of a position has on the organization is as a unit supervisor or one of the levels of staff authority. The unit supervisor is accountable, including signature authority, for actions and decisions that directly impact pay , status, and tenure of three or more fulltime equivalent positions. At least one of the subordinate positions must be a professional level in the same series or at a comparable conceptual level. The elements of formal supervision must include providing documentation to support recommended corrective and disciplinary actions, signing performance plans and appraisals, and resolving informal grievances. Positions start the hiring process, interview applicants and recommend hire, promotion, or transfer.
OR
The staff, senior, or leading authority is a pacesetter who has a unique level of technical expertise in a field or profession that, as part of the ongoing permanent assignment, is critical to the success of an agency. It is an essential component of the work assignment that has been delegated by management to the position. This authority directly influences management decisions within the agency (staff), within state government agencies (senior), or in the profession itself outside of state government (leading). Management relies on such a position when making decisions regarding the direction that policy or a program should take in the staff authority’s field of expertise. Managers and peers recognize and seek this level of technical guidance and direction regarding the application of a program or system within the agency or to its clients, as the designer of a statewide system or in a subject area for other areas of state government, or as a consultant to management regionally or nationally. Managers and peers, internally (staff) and externally to the agency (senior), or state (leading) rely on this pacesetter when making decisions regarding the direction that policy, programs, and systems should take in the pacesetter's field of expertise.
