The college’s policy is to pay individuals
in a fair and equitable manner for work performed. Various factors affect salary
increases, including the labor market, internal equity, employee performance, and
the college’s financial constraints. These factors are reviewed annually in
conjunction with performance reviews and are the basis for establishing wage and
salary guidelines. Individual salary increases, when appropriate, are made based
on these factors.
Performance Reviews
Performance reviews are conducted annually by your supervisor
or department head and summarize your performance for the prior performance year.
The annual review is an opportunity for you and your supervisor to have an open and
honest dialogue about your performance over the past year and to document your achievements
and development areas. It’s an opportunity to review your position description,
clarify expectations, and set performance and development goals for the coming year.
Your performance review will be based on the responsibilities outlined in your position
description.
Your documented performance review is a significant
part of your employment record which influences recommendations for salary increases,
promotions, transfers, and/or terminations. Salary increases must be supported by
the performance review and must fall within guidelines issued by the Office of Human
Resources.
While performance reviews are not subject to the grievance
process, staff members are encouraged to include their own comments in the appropriate
section on the performance review form or attach an additional memo.
Salary Increases
If you meet or exceed the performance criteria/standards
established for your job, you may be eligible for a salary increase. The amount of
the increase is determined by your department head and recommended to Senior Staff
on the basis of pre-established wage and salary guidelines. Salary increases are
normally effective on the first of July each year. |
