University of Georgia Staff Council

Pay and Classification Report

As you may know, Human Resources is in the process of reviewing the Classification and Pay structure. The Staff Council Pay and Classification Committee has compiled a number of issues that they feel need to be addressed in this study.

1. Grievence Policy
   • more clearly defined
   • provide for a way to go outside your department
   • more confidentiality
2. Evaluations
   • should be based on what you do rather than what your title is
   • currently reflect one person's opinion of your work without any meaningful recourse if you disagree
   • hard work is not UNIFORMLY recognized
   • BOTTOM UP evaluations for supervisors
3. Re/Classification
   • clearly explain to all employees how the process of reclassification works. Currently it is mysterious to most
   • titles and responsibilities are not equal across campus and/or within a single department
4. Comp. Time/Overtime Pay
   • consistent CT policy university wide to prevent abuse
   • compensation for employees who are on call 24/7
   • Real and consistant flex time policy
5. Pay in General
   • oversite of pay distribution within a department
   • midyear salary increases
   • Salary compression
6. Miscellaneous
   • Board of Regents appointed for a term, rather than Life
   • root out "good old boys" that can lead to hiring and promotion of unqualified people
   • mandated supervisory training
   • meaningful rewards for seniority (as long as they continue to do their jobs)
   • make it easier to fire someone who needs to be fired
   • some areas cronically overstaffed, some cronically understaffed
   • remove the leave cut off (currently at 360 hours)
