Internal promotions include a pay increase percentage that is slightly less than the distance between pay grades. Generally, voluntary demotions would include a reduction in pay at a percentage similar to that for a promotion. A shift differential is provided to IT employees whose regular work schedule is on second or third shift. The salary range control points are based on market averages. The market averages used are based on data from 9 different surveys, which encompass a cross-section of private sector and higher education jobs located nationally and within our region.
Market data is adjusted to account for the varying publication dates of the surveys used.
In matching our jobs to survey data, they considered the primary functions of the job and knowledge and experience requirements. Note that exact duty matches are difficult, if not impossible, to obtain. The initial placement of positions in grades was based on the grade control point nearest to the job's market value. Based on the information in the job description, a comparison to other jobs in the compensation plan, and comparable market data where available and relevant, a decision will be made on the proper placement of your position in a pay grade. If your job is placed into a higher pay grade you will receive a promotional pay increase.
