1 Classification and Nomenclature of Information Technology Posts in the Public Service Office of the Prime Minister Government of Saint Lucia May 17, 2004

2 Introduction This classification seeks to establish a rational and logical career path for IT professionals in the Public Service, catering for various streams, in order to support the present and future IT requirements of the Government of St. Lucia Public Service. Firstly, it should be noted that many anomalies and inconsistencies presently exist with respect to the classification of Information Technology positions in the Public Service. This has arisen due to well-intentioned, but disjointed and ad-hoc creation of IT related positions to meet the needs of Agencies from time to time. Objectives The primary objectives of the revised classification of IT posts are to: attract and retain competent and highly skilled Information Technology Professionals in Public Service; and ensure appropriate levels of job satisfaction and motivation, through the provision of clearly defined career paths for upward mobility, consistent with other professional streams in the Public Service.

Firstly, it should be noted that many anomalies and inconsistencies presently exist with respect to the classification of Information Technology positions in the Public Service.

3 Career Path - IT Stream The limitations or ceiling with respect to the Information Technology career stream in the Public Service will continue to present major challenges with regard to the attraction and retention of skilled personnel in this professional stream. A wide range of professional streams and career paths are provided for up to Grades 19 and 20, for example: Accounting, Auditing, Finance, Economics, Legal, Surveying, Education, Law Enforcement, etc. The highest classifications for the Information Technology/Information Systems professional stream are generally at Grades 16-17, and in a couple of specific instances, at Grade 19. To address the more fundamental issue of creating a rationale career stream for Information Technology Professionals in the Public Service, the revisions outlined in the Table 1. below, are recommended for adoption across the public service. The new positions are in bold, existing positions in normal font, and existing positions to be phased out are shown with a line struck through (e.g. existing position). Comparable technical posts are presented in italics for grades within which new positions are proposed (new positions in bold).

A wide range of professional streams and career paths are provided for up to Grades 19 and 20, for example: Accounting, Auditing, Finance, Economics, Legal, Surveying, Education, Law Enforcement, etc.
