However, most departments usually want qualifications beyond the minimum. Position Management determines the salary of an employee based on qualifications, equity and the budget of the department, if position review results in reclassification of a filled position. In some cases, the result of the review may be a title change, but because the new title is at the same salary grade, there would be no pay increase. Position Management wants to work very closely with supervisors and managers. But remember, their work is with the classifications of positions and not people.
Upgrades are a way to reward good performance.
Merit raises are used for this purpose. Position Management reviews the position not the person. All positions deserve upgrades. If the basic job function has not changed but only the tools used to accomplish the function, an upgrade is not necessarily merited. The skill of the library manager in writing a position description determines whether or not the position is upgraded.
