When do I submit a JIQ?

A JIS should be submitted when:

a Request to Hire is initiated and the current JIQ no longer reflects the skills and responsibilities of the job; or
you are creating a brand-new job
where an existing position is to undergo a sudden and significant change in job duties.

A JIQ should be submitted when:

a reclassification is required.
where the duties of their position have evolved or changed over time.
where the incumbent(s) seek to have their role evaluated to ensure accuracy and alignment with their responsibilities (typically every (5) years).

* A JIS evaluation is considered tentative. Within six months of filling a permanent vacancy, it is important to submit a JIQ for a formal evaluation. Please contact jobeval@uoguelph.ca for temporary vacancy requirements.

**Timeline for Submission of JIQ**
Incumbent Completes JIQ	Up to 20 business days
