Hiring a Compensation/Classification & Employment Specialist allows needed focus on classification of positions and appropriate compensation for employees.  Computer support functions no longer reside with dual-role employees; they are instead the sole focus of these employees.

Employees can be more confident about the professional review of their positions and compensation levels.  Salary and position equity issues are addressed on a campus-wide basis to assure the fairness of these employment factors.  Technology is supported by dedicated professional staff.

Review of all classified positions for appropriate classification and compensation is ongoing.  Technology support continues to expand.

4.  Enforce payroll processing schedule and improve accuracy.

Complete.  Payroll is processed according to schedule, and intermediate reviews of data occur during processing.

Payroll will continue to be processed according to the published schedule.

Employees do not need to project one week of time worked.  Fewer corrections are required.

Paychecks more accurately reflect salary earned.
