SEC. 204. (a) The classes of employees whose compensation is
authorized by section 3 of the Legislative Pay Act of 1929, as amended

TITLE III-BASIS FOR CLASSIFYING POSITIONS
SEC. 301. For the purposes of this Act, the term-
(1) "position" means the work, consisting of the duties and
responsibilities, assignable to an officer or employee;
(2) "class" or "class of positions" includes all positions which
are sufficiently similar, as to (A) kind or subject-matter of work,
(B) level of difficulty and responsibility, and (C) the qualifica-
tion requirements of the work, to warrant similar treatment in
personnel and pay administration; and
(3) "grade" includes all classes of positions which (although
different with respect to kind or subject-matter of work) are
sufficiently equivalent as to (A) level of difficulty and responsi-
bility, and (B) level of qualification requirements of the work,
to warrant the inclusion of such classes of positions within one
range of rates of basic compensation, as specified in title VI.
SEC. 302. (a) Each position shall be placed in its appropriate class.
The basis for determining the class in which each position shall be
placed shall be the duties and responsibilities of such position and the
qualifications required by such duties and responsibilities.
(b) Each class shall be placed in its appropriate grade. The basis
for determining the grade in which each class shall be placed shall
be the level of difficulty, responsibility, and qualification requirements
of the work of such class.
SEC. 303. No appropriated funds shall be used to pay the compensa-
tion of any officer or employee who places a supervisory position in a
class and grade solely on the basis of the size of the group, section,
bureau, or other organization unit or the number of subordinates
supervised. Such factors may be given effect only to the extent war-
ranted by the work load of the organization unit and then only in
combination with other factors, such as the kind, difficulty, and com-
plexity of work supervised, the degree and scope of responsibility
delegated to the supervisor, and the kind, degree, and character of
the supervision actually exercised.
TITLE IV-PREPARATION AND PUBLICATION OF
STANDARDS
SEC. 401. (a) The Commission, after consultation with the depart-
ments, shall prepare standards for placing positions in their proper
classes and grades. The Commission is authorized to make such
inquiries or investigations of the duties, responsibilities, and qualifica-
tion requirements of positions as it deems necessary for this purpose.
