The classification plan must set forth, for each class of positions, the class title and a statement of the authority, duties, and responsibilities of the class. Each class of positions may be subdivided, and classes may be grouped and ranked in such manner as the commissioner considers appropriate.

(c) The commissioner shall periodically:
- (1) Review the positions in the state preferred service; and
- (2) Reallocate the positions to the proper classes based on the duties and responsibilities of the positions at the time of the review under subdivision (c)(1).

(d) The commissioner shall also prepare a statement of minimum qualifications for each class of positions in the preferred service.

(e) When any position classification is upgraded in the classification plan, all employees in that position classification shall receive any necessary salary adjustment so that the employee's salary does not fall below the minimum range of the classification.
