Brief summary of the new Compensation pay practices with updates and tips: Bob Guarnieri

New Compensation pay practices SUMMARY January 2013

USPS New Hire Salaries Up to 15% above the position salary minimum of the classification without HR-Compensation review provided the candidate or employee exceeds the minimum qualifications for the USPS classification by at least two years of appropriate experience. Can request above 15% with HR Compensation review; division head approval; and written justification supporting significant credentials; specialized skills; or documented recruiting difficulty. Appropriate college course work or vocational/ technical training may substitute at an equivalent rate for required experience.

USPS Reclassifications An employee whose current position is reclassified to a higher level classification with a higher minimum salary shall receive a salary increase in accordance with the USPS Employee Compensation Upon Appointment sections A and B (identical to new hire practice). Minimum salary increase is five (5) percent. Employees whose current position is reclassified to a lateral classification do not normally receive a salary change. Voluntary demotions (reclassified to a lower level position) shall normally receive a lower salary on a pro rata basis using the two salary minimums to determine the ratio, unless an exception is approved by the college or unit and the chief human resources officer or designee and are handled on a case by case basis.

A&P New Hire Salaries A&P Salary Recommendation Guidelines Minimum: Meets minimum qualifications or exceeds by 1 -2 years Up to 25 th percentile: Exceeds minimum qualifications by 3 -5 years 25 th percentile: Exceeds minimum qualifications by 5 or more years Between 25 th percentile & Midpoint: Exceeds minimum qualifications by 7 or more years Midpoint or above: Exceeds minimum qualifications by 15 or more years

A&P Reclassifications • Employees whose current position is reclassified to a higher level A&P classification shall receive a salary increase based on their credentials in accordance with the A&P New Hire Salary guidelines as referenced in Section 1. • Requested increases of 20% or more require approval by the president, unless the increase is to an established salary range minimum. A&P Lateral Transfers • A lateral transfer does not normally result in a salary increase. However, if the employee’s current salary is below the first quartile of the salary range, the department may request an increase up to the first quartile of the salary range, provided the employee significantly exceeds the minimum qualifications.

Special Pay Increases Additional Duties – Higher Level Classification • Recommended 7 -10% increase Additional Duties or Increase in Workload – Same Level Classification • Recommended 3 -5% increase Temporary Pay Increase • • • Recommended 3 -5% increase when employee assumes a portion of the job duties. Recommended 7 -10% increase when employee assumes a significant portion of the job duties. Recommended up to 10% or new minimum (for higher level positions), whichever is greater, when employee assumes 100% of the job duties.

Special Pay Increases Counter Offers • HR Compensation reviews counter offers on a case-by-case basis. Market Adjustments • • HR Compensation will review to provide salary survey/market data. Employee’s credentials in relation to the minimum qualifications of the position are considered in determining the recommended market increase. Internal Equity or Compression HR Compensation review on a case-by-case basis.

Special Pay Increases Out of Cycle Merit Increase To recognize meritorious performance outside of the university announced salary increases. • Employee must have an “above satisfactory” or “outstanding” rating (A&P) or “commendable” or “exemplary” rating (USPS) on the recent performance appraisal on file with HR. • The request must receive VP (or designee) approval. • If request is 20% or more, it will require president approval. • The request must include written justification.

One Time Performance Payment Used when the department wants to reward an employee for the successful completion of a special project or assignment, which is in addition to the employee’s regular assigned duties, or a documented significant increase in productivity or productivity goal achievement, including a group incentive program. • Employee must have at least a “satisfactory” rating (A&P) or “effective” rating (USPS) on the most recent performance appraisal on file with HR. • Up to $5, 000 maximum • Submitted as a supplemental payment (payroll form online) • Must receive approval from appropriate division head (or designee) – Provost approval for areas under Academic Affairs • Must include written justification

A&P Offers of Employment • Departments may make official offers of employment including starting salary once the hiring packet receives final approval from HR-Compensation. • HR-Compensation will contact the hiring official to notify of approval and send the analysis to the department. • The department will contact the candidate to make the offer and confirm the start date with the candidate. • The department will then contact HR Compensation to confirm the start date. After the start date is confirmed, HR will print the employment agreement and send to the department. • Please confirm the start date with the candidate FIRST before confirming the start date with Compensation.

A&P Positions – Salary Ranges Before posting a position to be advertised, please ensure you have a recent compensation analysis providing you the proposed pay grade. You will automatically receive an analysis if you are establishing a position via e. PAF. If you are posting an already existing position, and you do not have a current analysis, please contact Compensation prior to posting.

d Parental Leave: Ben Anderson

Parental Leave An employee may be granted an unpaid parental leave of absence not to exceed six months when the employee becomes a biological parent or when an employee becomes an adoptive parent. The period of parental leave shall begin no more than two weeks before the expected date of the child’s arrival and not later than twelve months after the arrival of the child. Upon request, employees may use accrued leave, with management approval; otherwise, the leave will be without pay. The employee may use accrued sick leave for two weeks prior to the anticipated delivery date and six or eight weeks after the actual delivery based on the method of birth, with submission of a UCF Medical Certification form that states the biological mother is unable to work.

Parental Leave Sick leave may be used while an immediate family member is under the care of a physician and the employee is required to assist the mother with basic medical or personal needs, safety, transportation, or to provide psychological support. The use of sick leave for a family member will depend on the information submitted on the UCF Medical Certification form. When an employee becomes an adoptive parent, sick leave may be used under the provisions of the documented information of a serious health condition of the child on the UCF Medical Certification form. Documentation must be provided to show that the child has been placed in the employee’s home.
