U.S. Office of Personnel Management - Ensuring the Federal Government has an effective civilian workforce

You may have a representative (designated in writing) help you prepare and submit your appeal case, but the representative cannot be someone with management or classification authority over your position. You or your designated representative should send your appeal to the Office of Personnel Management office serving the geographical area where your position is located.

If you decide to submit a classification appeal to us, it should contain the following information in writing:
Your name, mailing address, and commercial office telephone number;
The present classification of your position and the requested classification;
The name of the department or agency and the office in which you work;
The city where you are employed and the installation's mailing address;
A copy of your official position description and either a statement affirming that it is accurate or a detailed explanation of the inaccuracies and an explanation of the efforts made to correct the position description;
Any additional information about the position that will aid in understanding it; and
Arguments supporting the requested classification by referencing the appropriate classification standards.
