2.8.1 Compensation Of Administrative, Professional And Operating Staff

Policy: 2.8.1

Compensation Of Administrative, Professional And Operating Staff

Date of Policy Adoption: January 25, 2000

Revised Effective Date: January 25, 2000

Scope: All Employee Groups

Policy

The College will maintain a salary classification system that shall consist of salary grades, designated pay ranges and guidelines for use. Copies of the salary schedule are available from Human Resources.

Procedure

Positions are “graded” by Human Resources, based upon a job evaluation system, to maintain fairness across similarly complex positions across the district. Employee salaries or wage rates are arranged according to, and in accordance with, the grade and range for their position. Employee salaries must be within the designated salary range except in cases of regrading (as described below) or when a market adjustment is required for the College to remain competitive in the recruitment and retention of specific positions.

When situations arise (such as reclassification or change in job duties) where a position is regraded to a salary grade where the incumbent’s current salary is greater than 110% of the maximum salary of the new grade, the incumbent will be provided twelve month’s notice of the necessity to change the incumbent’s salary to 110% of the current salary grade maximum. Incumbents who are exceeding the maximum salary, but not exceeding 110% of the maximum salary, will have their salary frozen until such time as their salary is determined to be less than the salary maximum.

Promotional Guidelines

Employees receiving a promotion should attain a five to fifteen percent salary adjustment, depending on budget constraints, the responsibilities assumed and parity considerations.

Employees taking a lateral transfer should maintain their current salary

Salary Upon Return To The College

An employee separated as a result of reduction in force should, upon return to a similar position at the College, receive a similar salary or wage rate to that which was earned prior to their separation from the College.
