General Considerations:
- Salary-setting policies and procedures vary by employee group. When transferring from one bargaining unit to another, the collective bargaining provisions for the new bargaining unit prevails.
- Budgetary policies may differ. Ensure funding approval before making a salary offer.
- Consider how your offer affects internal equity.
- Relevant factors for determining an appropriate salary generally include the person’s qualifications and salary history, the salary being paid to those with similar qualifications and responsibilities, the range placement, and the market rate for the position.
- Consider the length of time before the employee is eligible for a salary increase.
- Employees changing from limited to career status are evaluated as if they are new-hires.
- Salaries requiring approval of the assistant vice chancellor – Human Resources should be routed via the compensation manager.
