On March 1, 2009, the HR
Compensation department
implemented new pay
structures. This is the
next step in our new
compensation program
designed to align UH to the
Houston metro market. HR
partnered with external
consultants to conduct a
market study of all UH staff
jobs and assign new job
grades that correspond to
the new pay range
structures.
Results
-
Each job was assigned to
a grade on the new
structure based upon the
market value of that
job.
-
The new pay ranges will
be used to guide future
planning and
administration of staff
salaries including merit
increases, new hires,
reclassifications and
promotions.
-
Based on the study and
external consultation,
the average salaries for
jobs at UH are in
line with the current
market.
The new program also
includes a total
compensation philosophy
which will assist the
university in achieving its
goal to attract, retain,
motivate and reward a highly
competent workforce. The
total compensation
philosophy was developed in
coordination with the
compensation committee
representing UH staff from
all areas of campus.
How this affects you
– Your job has a new pay
grade. Your job description
and title stay the same.
Less than 1% of employees
received an equity increase
because their current salary
was below the new range
minimum. These employees
will be contacted directly
by their manager. Please
note that no salary will be
decreased as a result of
this pay grade
restructuring.
During the next several
weeks, HR and business
administrators will provide
additional information to
assist with the transition
and public information
sessions will be scheduled.
Please check back soon
for additional announcements
to keep you updated as the
implementation continues.
