POSITION MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW
Classified and Unclassified Positions
2 of 10

Classified positions are all positions in state service, except those which are specifically placed in unclassified service by K.S.A. 75-2935. Classified positions are covered under Civil Service laws and have certain protections that unclassified positions lack.

When adding an unclassified position, you need to determine first if it is regular or temporary. Unclassified positions are those positions specifically designated as unclassified by K.S.A. 75-2935.

Executive branch agencies must have statutory authority to add unclassified, regular positions.

Unclassified, temporary positions are appointed and pay rate changes are approved by the governor. 

The job code of an unclassified position may be changed to reflect a change in duties or responsibilities but cannot be reallocated since unclassified positions do not have job classes.
