A.POLICY

The following model and associated criteria determine eligibility for advancement on the salary schedule from level I to level IV by support and professional staff (positions in salary grades

1-11). The model determines eligibility, and so there is no guarantee or right to movement to the next level when eligibility status is attained. Movement on the salary schedule remains an administrative decision. The administration will determine the number of staff to receive promotion via this process annually in keeping with past practices and budgetary constraints of the institution.

B.POLICY GUIDELINES

 

A staff member receiving an advancement will receive a base pay increase of 5% of their current base salary. A staff member must complete at least three full years “in the level” before eligibility for the next advancement will be considered. The three-year count will reset in the following cases: promotion to a position at a higher salary grade, receiving an advancement, and reclassification of a position. In order to be considered, the staff member cannot be on disciplinary probation. Each year the staff member should complete the “Criteria Documentation Form” to illustrate activities that support their eligibility for advancement in alignment with the strategic plan. When applying for advancement, staff members should submit a summary of supporting activities over their time in the current level.
