Employment Angie Loving Assistant Director
Employment Salary Administration Guidelines (1 of 5) The hold or “freeze” on Phase I job title reassignments and salary increases were lifted on July 20. The following salary administration changes will go into effect for job titles once a freeze is lifted. Please note that any Phase I Salary Increase Request Received after July 20, 2014 should have an effective date of August 17, 2014 or later to account for the budget load and merit files that will be processed on August 3, 2014.
Employment Salary Administration Guidelines (2 of 5) • Salary Increases Only (Within Established Range) • – A salary increase may be generated by a Personnel Action Form (PAF) with Dean, Director, or Vice Provost, and/or Vice Chancellor Approval for the following reasons: • Acquisition of Professional Certification and/or License • Adjustments for Internal Equity • Counter Offers to Internal/External Employment • Acquisition of Job Related Skills & Competencies NOT required at the time of hire • Addition of supervisory responsibilities • Acting/Interim assignment not requiring a title change • Salary increases within the established salary range do not have an impact on annual merit increases.
Employment Salary Administration Guidelines (3 of 5) What is required for the PAF? - The Notes section on the PAF must reference the reason for the increase, the approval authority’s name, and date of approval. Additional documentation regarding the approval may be required by budgetary channels and attached if available, but is not required by Human Resources (HR). Is a Position Description Required? - An updated position description is not required for a salary increase only within the current salary range, however in order to have the most accurate record on file with HR, we would ask that if updates are needed to contact your Shared Service Center or Recruitment and Onboarding Center (SSC or ROC) representative to make sure the newest version is in our document repository.
Employment Salary Administration Guidelines (4 of 5) Salary Increases that May Necessitate a Change in Title, FLSA designation (salary vs. hourly), or Exceed the Established Salary Range – Please contact your SSC/ROC representative to initiate a recruitment exception request. Reasons for such a request may be based upon the following scenarios: ·Job Restructuring due to the addition of more complex job duty assignments ·Reorganization ·Acting/Interim Appointments requiring a title change ·Skill Acquisition ·Adjustments to Internal Equity or for Reasons Stated Above for Incumbents that have already Exceed the Salary Range which will require the additional authorization of the appropriate Vice Chancellor or Vice Provost What is required for a Recruitment Exception? - All recruitment exceptions require an updated position description, justification (please include salary data), resume of the individual and organizational chart if available.Determinations of the appropriate official job title and FLSA designation will be made by HR based a review of the provided information.
Employment Salary Administration Guidelines (5 of 5) • Salary Increases for UPS/USS Temporary Appointments – A salary increase may be generated by a PAF with Dean, Director, or Vice Provost, and/or Vice Chancellor approval for the following reasons: • Acquisition of Professional Certification and/or License • Adjustments for Internal Equity • Performance • Acquisition of Job Related Skills & Competencies • Addition of supervisory responsibilities Please note that any Phase II job titles will not be eligible to use this model until August 17. Titles that have not yet been frozen and/or reviewed in the market study (Phases III and IV) will not be eligible for this new process until that phase of the study has been completed. Please also note that salary increases apply to the overall base salary of the employee and are not a one-time adjustment; and, all increases are self-funded from the unit’s appropriate funding source.
