Understanding and staying up to date with the University’s Total Rewards program will help you inform your employees and answer their questions about their pay and benefits.<\/p>\n

Benefits<\/h2>\n

Compensation<\/h2>\n

Get detailed information related to compensation for your employees, from wage schedules and job descriptions, to the Pay Administration Guidelines<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Wage schedules<\/b><\/h3>\n

Wage schedules will be published with the full roll-out of the Career Path Modernization (CPM) project<\/a> in January 2024.<\/p>\n

Job descriptions and evaluations
\n<\/b><\/h3>\n

Jobs evolve, and when the responsibilities change significantly it\u2019s important to revisit the job description and perhaps have it re-evaluated. Document the responsibilities in the job description form<\/a>, following these tips<\/a> for a job description that accurately captures the position requirements. Once complete, the new or revised job description should be shared with your leadership and your HR Business Partner<\/a>. If you are requesting a re-evaluation, first obtain your leadership\u2019s support and then your HR Business Partner<\/a> can help begin the HR review process.<\/p>\n
