Many factors are taken into consideration when

Salaries are based on the following criteria:
•
The job’s role within the University, its
responsibilities and skills requirements
•
The individual’s knowledge, skills, experience, and
performance
CAREER LEVELS :
Coming in January 2016
Career Levels represent a new component of our compensation program
designed to provide:
•
a structure that aligns jobs in a way that defines pathways for professional growth and
development
•
information needed to understand how jobs progress within and across job families
•
a framework for career progression opportunities that represent lateral and vertical job
CAREER LEVELS :
How will they work?
The Career Levels segregate all jobs into three career categories:
Leadership and Management Professional/Research
Administrative, Technical, Trades, and Health Care Services
Within each career category are tiers (or levels) representing varying
levels of job complexity and responsibility. All staff jobs are in one of the
three career categories referred to as a Career Level.
