MEMORANDUM

TO: Vice Presidents, Deans, Department Heads and Other Administrative Officers
FROM: Thomas E. Gausvik
Chief Human Resource Officer
SUBJECT: Quarterly Process for Recommending In-Band Salary Adjustments

Academic Division schools and departments should start to prepare requests for the coming quarterly process of reviewing in-band salary adjustments for classified employees. All Pay Action Request Forms (available at http://www.hrs.virginia.edu/forms/PARform.pdf) must be completed, approved by the appropriate vice president, and received in University Human Resources by Friday, May 3, 2002. The effective date of approved in-band adjustments will be Saturday, May 25, 2002. Pay actions approved with a May 25 effective date will be reflected in employee paychecks on June 14 for semi-monthly paid employees, and July 1, 2002 for monthly paid employees. Approved in-band adjustments for bi-weekly wage employees will be effective for the pay period beginning May 29, 2002, and the increase will be reflected in employee paychecks on June 21, 2002. Schools and departments may request that an in-band salary adjustment be added to employee's base pay or approved as a one-time lump sum payment.

University Review and Approval Process
An institutional review and approval process has been established for requesting in-band salary adjustments, which occurs on a quarterly basis with a predetermined effective date. Vice Presidents have final approval authority on in-band salary adjustments. Each vice president must review and approve his or her area's proposed adjustments before sending them to UHR. Managers should not inform employees of proposed adjustments until all approvals are granted. Beginning May 3, 2002, UHR will review the submitted adjustments to assess institutional consistency. UHR representatives will meet with each vice president to present their findings and will notify schools and departments during the week of June 3rd whether proposed adjustments have received final institutional approval. Funding of in-band salary adjustments must come from existing school and department budgets.

Please do not hesitate to contact your assigned compensation expert if you have any questions. In addition, please contact Dave Ripley, Director of Compensation Management, at 924-4373 (dwr@virginia.edu) or Jonette Aughenbaugh, Assistant Director of Compensation Management at 924-4747 (jonette@virginia.edu).
