Midpoints of the pay ranges represent the
university's desired competitive position to
the external market and are determined by a
statistical calculation based on external
salary survey data for benchmark jobs in
each pay grade. The minimum and maximum of
each pay range represent the minimum and
maximum values, respectively, to the
University of all jobs assigned to that
particular pay range.
In most cases, up to the top of the first
quartile is considered the range of value
for a newly hired or promoted employee who
meets the minimum qualifications of the job.
Thus, most employees should be hired or
promoted within the first quartile of the
range, however departments have full
authority to hire or promote employees up to
midpoint. Hiring employees above midpoint
requires prior approval by the Human
Resources Department and the appropriate
Vice President.
Hiring employees below the minimum of the
pay range is contrary to university policy
and is not permitted. Conversely, the
maximum of the pay range is the upper limit
of pay for a job. An employee's rate of pay
may not normally exceed the respective
maximum for the job.
