Before proceeding, please consult Support Staff Policy 9.4, Salary Decisions for Individual Employees.

• A school or department secures budgetary approvals for the proposed pay increase from the responsibility center and Budgetary Administration and Planning (Rozzie Gerstman). If the head of the responsibility center is a vice president, further budgetary approval is not required.
• A dean or director submits request in writing (e-mail is acceptable) to University Human Resource Services (Classification and Salary, Poplars E165, e-mail , telephone 855-7321) along with approvals from appropriate budgetary authorities (see previous statement). The memo should include:
  1. Name of employee
  2. Pay rate or increase being requested, stated in terms of an hourly pay rate
  3. Reason for the request (based on the criteria in Support Staff Policy 9.4).
• If the Support Staff employee is represented by the CWA, University Human Resource Services (UHRS) notifies CWA of request.
• After the review of the request is completed, UHRS informs the dean or director of the decision.
• If the pay increase is approved by UHRS, the department initiates an E-Doc to process the pay rate change. The effective date of the new pay rate is the first day of the pay period after the decision is made.
