Employee classification

What is employee classification?

Main HR glossary Employee classification

Employee classification is the process of categorizing employees according to various criteria: functions performed, skill level, or type of employment.

For example, according to the functions performed, we can distinguish:

Basic personnel: engaged in the fulfillment of the company’s key tasks. For example, production workers or programmers in an IT company.

Auxiliary staff: supports core processes, e.g. accounting, IT or maintenance staff.

Managerial staff: coordinates the work of other staff and makes strategic decisions.

By skill level:

Qualified personnel: have the specialized education or experience necessary to perform complex tasks.

Unqualified personnel: performs simple tasks that do not require specialized training.

By type of employment there are:

Permanent employees: work on a long-term basis.

Temporary employees: hired for short-term tasks or projects.

Hourly employees: are compensated based on the actual hours they work.

A structured employee classification helps to define roles and areas of responsibility of employees, which simplifies team management.

A clear classification promotes transparency within the company. It improves communication between departments, helps to build motivational programs and avoid conflicts.
