Starting
Rates of Pay, Promotions and Transfers
The salary ranges offer considerable flexibility for hiring new
employees at competitive rates. Salary offers for new hires should
be based on the experience and qualifications the candidate brings
to the job. Experienced candidates may receive salary offers reflective
of their experience, accomplishments and skills. Individuals with
less experience and fewer skills could be offered a salary close
to or at the minimum of the range. The candidate's qualifications
and experience should also be considered in relation to those of
incumbent employees in the same salary range (not just the same
job) so that internal inequities are not created when we hire new
employees.
Promotional increases are salary increases that accompany a promotion
from a job in one salary grade to another job in a higher salary
grade. When an employee is promoted, his or her salary will be raised
at least to the minimum of the new salary grade. If the employee's
current salary is higher than the minimum of the new salary grade,
a promotional increase may be determined jointly by the Department
Head/Chair or Supervisor and Human Resources based on the new responsibities
and duties of the job.
Transfer offer employees the opportunity to change jobs to develop
additional skills and to broaden their professional knowledge. A
lateral transfer is a move to a position within the same salary
grade. There are no automatic increases for a lateral transfer;
however, a salary increase might be made based upon the new job
responsibilities. When an employee is transferred to a job in a
lower salary grade, an adjustment to pay will be made based on the
responsibilities of the new job.
