New Compensation Program
The University plans to roll out a new compensation program for Non-Represented Employees (EClasses MA, NE, NN and NC) in early 2008. The program is the result of a comprehensive study conducted by Total Compensation & Wellness.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES
• Replace the current Hay classification system, with a focus on market-based based methods, while at the same time considering internal equity
• Insure that job specifications and relative pay alignment are in line with similar positions in the market
• Provide greater flexibility for movement within the University
• Decentralize the salary administration process which will allow the institution to become more “nimble” and respond more quickly to changing market and unit needs
• Design a system that supports career and employee development
• Support the goals of the University Strategic Action Plan, especially to strengthen human resources services and streamline business practices.
PROGRAM OUTCOMES
• Publish a University Compensation Philosophy
• Publish Salary Administration Guidelines for Non-Represented Employees
• Revise the compensation structure by utilizing one schedule, with fewer and wider bands
• Implement individualized job descriptions
