The following is our current language:
In accordance with the compensation philosophy the support staff and administrative staff salary programs are reviewed regularly to assure that they remain competitive with the appropriate labor market. Jobs are compared with a designated group of peer colleges and universities, similar jobs in a geographic area, or with organizations with similar functions.
The Office of Human Resources reviews the salary structure annually to determine how inflation and the influence of the various labor markets have impacted salaries. Input from department heads concerning the competitive environment of specific professions is solicited. Information about other organizations is gathered through salary surveys. Decisions to revise a salary structure are based on external market conditions and the College's operating circumstances.
Market competitiveness:
"Benchmark" jobs are those that have a comparable job in the labor market with reliable survey data. These jobs form the anchor of the salary structure, and are identified based on individual department and institutional survey data. Human Resources reviews selected jobs annually.
Those jobs that do not have comparable jobs in the labor market are slotted in relationship to benchmark jobs based on similar functions and responsibilities.
