Staff is defined as any employee who is not employed in a temporary status and who is not otherwise covered by a faculty or postdoctoral handbooks or by collective bargaining agreement.
The university recognizes the importance of retention and recruitment incentivizing through competitive wages. As such, the university regularly reviews its compensation ranges and programs and updates them to ensure competitive wages and practices to those of the relevant employment market.
Compensation and Performance Management Programs
The university compensation and performance management programs link employees’ individual jobs and goals to broader university or department goals. These programs facilitate communication between supervisors and employees. They also encourage employees to identify and develop the skills they need to reach their full potential in their position at the university.
The programs are designed to:
- Provide competitive total compensation packages, within defined markets, to attract and retain a high quality, diverse workforce.
- Promote communication between managers and employees to ensure that employees have a clear understanding of the link between their contributions and the mission, values, and goals of the university.
- Encourage development of skills and behaviors (competencies) necessary for success in our work environment.
- Establish a consistent framework with flexibility in pay delivery and pay programs to recognize individual performance, teamwork, and competency development.
If you have questions about this policy, you should speak with your supervisor or contact your Human Resources Business Partner for assistance.
