In Grade/Range Salary Adjustments

In-grade/range adjustments provide increases to A/P/S employees who either transfer to a different position within the same salary range/grade or who assume a demonstrable increase in job duties and outcomes within the same position.

Requests for in-grade/range salary adjustments should be based upon one of the following:

• Verifiable increase in level of duties and responsibilities
• Competitive market conditions
• Pay disparity not explained by level of education, experience or responsibility
• An employment offer or active recruitment from a source outside the University

To request an in-grade/range salary adjustment, please complete a Salary Adjustment Request Form detailing the rationale for the adjustment. A copy of this form, signed by the department head and the appropriate vice president/provost should be forwarded to University Human Resources. A copy of the request should also be retained in departmental files. In some cases, UHR may request a full review of the position to determine if the grade is still appropriate. In those cases, a complete job description would be requested.

In-grade/range salary adjustment requests will be reviewed and processed immediately if:

• The requested salary adjustment is 10% or less
• The resulting salary is less than the salary range/grade maximum
• The employee has not had another in-grade salary adjustment within the last 12 months

Any exceptions to the above would require approval of the Associate Vice President for Human Resources or his/her designee.

Contact UHR for additional information or assistance when determining a salary adjustment.
