OPM decision numbers. An OPM decision number identifies decisions. The 12-character decision number is made up of C (for classification appeal), 4 digits for the OPM-certified occupational series of the position, 2 digits for the OPM-certified grade of the position, and 2 digits for the number of the decision for that particular series and grade.

For example, the decision number C-0802-11-02 indicates that it is a classification appeal decision for a position in the 0802 Engineering Technician occupational series at the grade 11 level and is the second decision certifying that a position is a GS-802-11 Engineering Technician.

If the grade is 00 or the series is 0000, that indicates that we made a determination on only the series or the pay system, that is, whether the position should be in the Federal Wage System or the General Schedule.

Outcome entries. The following entries describe our classification appeal decision. If the OPM-certified pay system or occupational series or grade differs from the pay system or occupational series or grade assigned to the position by the agency, we note only what the difference is.

A word about grade changes. Although the OPM-certified grade may be higher or lower than the grade assigned by the agency, this does not necessarily mean that the grade of the employee in the position will automatically go up or down. An agency has a number of options available to it when complying with an Office of Personnel Management classification decision. Regardless of our decision, the employee's agency still keeps full control over the assignment of duties to a position and who performs those duties. Any personnel action affecting an employee as a result of our classification appeal certificate will be taken by the employee's agency.

You may not file a classification or job grading appeal electronically.
