  17. MAX: No Correlation to ECI

  18. Maxed-Out Amherst Members

  19. Effect of Merit Max • The highest performing long-term employees in the unit are receiving ever diminishing returns for their efforts. • Decreasing morale among unit members due to the growing gap in compensation between similarly situated employees based only on their unit status. • By submitting salary calculations based on the Merit Maximum to the legislature, management spurned otherwise available funding for the Amherst campus.

  20. Solution: Remove Merit Max • High performing employees should be rewarded for their efforts and should be held harmless from the application of an arbitrary and capricious Merit Maximum over the past year. • Equity should be restored between unit and non-unit employees performing similar work. • Union members should not suffer because management turned away otherwise available funds. • The PSSAP Salary Schedules at both Boston and Amherst should be reset to remove the artificial distortions and the bring the scales into line with the impact of 11 years of inflation. The easiest way to do this is to increase all the scales on both campuses at the same rate as the BRI.

  21. Solution: Restore Integrity to the Salary Schedules • Reset the midpoints to BRI • Reset the minimums and maximums by calculating a 50% spread in each grade.
