| The Governor and General Assembly have provided a classified
pay increase for fiscal year 2004-05 that includes:
In addition, information is included on hourly (wage)
employees (non-student workers)
Please make this information available to your managers.
This memorandum does not apply to employees in the Medical
Center (Agency 209).
Adjustment to Classified Salary Ranges:
Effective November 25, 2004, the salary ranges of each Pay
Band will be increased by 3.0% (see UHR Website at http://www.hrs.virginia.edu/salarygrid.html#nov04).
This is an adjustment to insure that the salary ranges
remain competitive. No employee’s salary will change as a
result of the adjustment of the Pay Bands.
Classified Salaried Performance Increase:
Effective November 25, 2004, all non-probationary full-time
and part-time classified salaried employees will receive a
3.0% performance (merit) increase for receiving a rating of
“Contributor” or “Extraordinary Contributor” for performance
during the performance cycle ending October 24, 2004. Employees rated "Below Contributor" will not receive the
performance increase. In some cases, the result of not
receiving a performance increase will place an employee's
salary below the new minimum of the employee's respective
pay band. The salary will remain below the minimum until the
employee is eligible to receive additional increases through
In-Band Adjustments, other pay practices, or future
performance increases (also see Section on Classified
Salaried Probationary Pay Increase). As a reminder,
completed Employee Work Profiles (performance evaluations)
on classified salaried employees must be submitted to
University Human Resources by Friday, October 15, 2004 (see
2004 Performance Evaluation memo at http://www.hrs.virginia.edu/mgrmemos/perfeval2004.html).
Classified Salaried Probationary Pay Increase (Hired between
10/25/2003 and 10/24/2004):
Classified full-time and part-time salaried employees hired
between October 25, 2003 and July 24, 2004 will be
“eligible” for a probationary pay increase of 3.0% provided
the employee receives a performance evaluation rating of
“Contributor” or “Extraordinary Contributor” during the
evaluation period from August 10, 2004 through October 24,
2004. Eligible employees who are not rated will not receive
the salary increase.
Classified salaried employees hired between July 25, 2004
and October 24, 2004, will not be eligible for the 3.0%
performance increase. Salaries of probationary employees who
are not rated (and those hired on or after July 25, 2004)
and who are hired at the entry of their assigned Pay Bands
will fall below the new Pay Band minimum on November 25,
2004. Probationary employees are eligible to receive In-Band
Adjustments and other management-initiated pay practices.
Classified/Temporary Hourly (Wage) Employees (excluding
Students)
Schools and departments have the discretion to provide pay
increases to hourly employees effective November 25, 2004
for the biweekly payroll period of 11/24/04 through
12/07/04. Increases may be up to 3.0%.
Schools and departments choosing to increase hourly rates up
to 3.0% should do so on-line via the HRMS. Please instruct
your human resource/payroll representative to initiate the
entry(ies) no later than December 8, 2004, specifying an
effective date of November 25, 2004, and selecting HRMS
Reason Code “General Salary Adjustment—Classified Wage.”
Hourly increases submitted through the HRMS will be approved
on-line by the UHR Compensation Management Division. Schools
and departments who do not provide hourly increases during
the November 24, 2004, through December 7, 2004 biweekly pay
period will need to submit requests during the quarterly
in-band adjustment review process.
Unit Rates
Unit rates will not be increased. Departments wishing to
increase unit rates, effective November 25, 2004 for the
biweekly payroll period of 11/24/04 through 12/07/04, should
submit an Earnings Element Request Form (http://www.hrs.virginia.edu/forms/EERF.doc)
to the UHR Compensation Management Division by the close of
business on December 8, 2004.
New Minimum Hiring/Starting Rates (Classified Salaried and
Classified Wage)
Effective the beginning of the December 22, 2004 biweekly
payroll, the minimum hiring rate for any classified salaried
or classified wage employee (including UVaTEMPS) will
increase from $17,410 ($8.37 p/hr) to $17,930 ($8.62 p/hr).
Any classified salaried or classified wage employee who
falls below $17,930 ($8.62 p/hr) will need to be adjusted to
the new minimum hiring rate. However, a classified employee
who is rated “Below Contributor” on their evaluation and
whose salary falls below the new minimum rate is not
eligible to be raised to the new minimum rate effective
December 22nd. The salary will remain below the minimum
until the employee is eligible to receive additional
increases through In-Band Adjustments, other pay practices,
or future performance increases. The new minimum hiring rate
does not apply to UVa’s College at Wise. Adjustments will
not be centrally funded. University Human Resources will
notify schools and departments of their affected employees.
Questions regarding the November 25, 2004, salary increase
should be addressed to Dave Ripley, Director, UHR
Compensation Management (924-4373; dwr@virginia.edu) or to
Jonette Aughenbaugh, Assistant Director, UHR Compensation
Management (924-4747; jla9u@virginia.edu).
