The ACT budget contains funds which are set aside to support the professional development goals of each employee. Project budgets are also built with funding set aside for training in technologies, skills, or processes directly related to each phase of a project. It is market based and sensitive to the fast paced technology environment in which we work. The number of the IT job titles have been reduced to a short list of categories of workers. These refer to the skills sets associated with each IT position category.
Categories represent very large pay ranges.
Persons are hired into a category at salaries equivalent to the average salary of persons with their skill sets in our market. As Team Members complete tasks which demonstrate the acquisition of new skills, market adjustments may be made to their salaries at the discretion of management. It is not necessary to wait for an annual review. Bonus programs and sign-on awards are available under special circumstances. The annual planning and assessment process represents a time to celebrate progress, acknowledge achievements relative to the campus population, and plan another exciting and prosperous year.
