Role of HR Consultant • Funding Availability – Is the budgeted salary within the appropriate pay range for the business need met by the work described? • Appropriate Market Range – What do similar jobs pay in state government and the university system? • Internal Equity – What comparisons must be considered across the entire campus? • Relevance of Functional Competency – Are the functional competencies of the desired career band the best match for the business need?

Use the Human Resources Management System • On-line Proposal Request and Response • HR Consultant will advise on career band and level • Inform of approximate budget needed. • Create New Position • HR must review and establish prior to posting • Modify Position with Budget Change • “Substantial change in job duties” is the current requirement for a salary increase request • Additional duties must represent higher level work with greater responsibility (not just “more work”) • Summarize changes in Reason for Action • HR must review and approve prior to communication of increase • Required approvals by UNC Board of Governors
Use the Human Resources Management System • “Other Request” with Budget Change • Use for FTE changes such as hours/week; months/year; funding source change; funding extensions on time-limited positions; temporary salary increases; abolishing positions • Modify Position without Budget Change • Use for changes to assigned duties or ADA requirements not substantial enough to consider salary change • Delegation of Authority • Use to delegate data entry tasks for making job changes to an administrative support staff member at your request • Initiate/Modify Competency Assessment • Used as preliminary step to request a career progression increase when the employee has been assigned work requiring additional competency
Recommended Resource • Career banding as a position and salary management system is unique to the NC University system • It is not intuitive • For an excellent overview, take the time to watch UNC – General Administration’s presentation for new managers at this link: http://www.northcarolina.edu/hr/unc/classcomp/Career-banding.pdf
