In-range nomination forms, worksheets, and departmental listings of
civil service employees were sent to department chairs and
administrators (or back-up staff) on Friday, June 6, 2008. Completed
materials should be returned to the Human Resources Office (rickj@umn.edu) no later than July 3, 2008.
Employees covered by collective bargaining unit agreements are not eligible for in-range adjustments.
While
the FY09 across-the-board annual increase is 3.25%, please remember
that the pay range minimums and maximums have gone up 2.75%. Regents
Policy prohibits paying an employee more than their classification pay
range allows.
There are four types of in-range adjustments:
- Exceptionally Meritorious Performance (Worksheet A):
An in-range adjustment of 2% of the employee's new FY09 pay rate may be
requested. The only increase allowed in this category is 2%.
(The
pay rates listed on the spreadsheet are based on FY08 salaries with the
across-the-board 3.25% increase added. Therefore, if an employee's
salary was already at or near the top of their range, the pay rate in
the spreadsheet may be incorrectly overstated.)
- Equity (Worksheet B): An equity adjustment may be requested when a salary equity issue can be demonstrated.
- Retention (Worksheet B):
A retention adjustment may be requested to keep an employee who has
received a bona fide offer of employment from another employer, or for
significant external market issues related to retention.
- Scope of Workload (Worksheet B):
An in-range adjustment may be requested for significant permanent
increases in the complexity of an employee's responsibilities and in
the scope of their workload.
All
in-range adjustment requests should be submitted on the appropriate
forms and worksheets. If you're submitting more than one nomination,
each nomination must be submitted on its own separate nomination form
and worksheet. Please fully complete each nomination form, including
examples in each category that will justify the increase.
In-range
approvals that go beyond the salary range maximum will be modified to
bring the pay rate to the maximum allowed for that particular job code.
In-range
adjustment nominations and supporting documentation must be received in
CLA HR by July 3, 2008. We'd like to provide responses to the in-range
adjustment requests by mid-August and accepting nomination submissions
after the July 3 deadline will only delay the process. In-range
nomination forms, worksheets, the departmental civil service
spreadsheet, and other supporting documents may be submitted
electronically or in hard copy to Rick Jacobson in CLA HR at rickj@umn.edu
If you have any questions about the civil service in-range adjustments, please contact Rick Jacobson at 4-3605.
The
College appreciates the dedication and hard work of all Civil Service
staff supporting the mission of CLA, and we welcome your nominations to
recognize the exceptional achievements of your staff.
