Year (ending August 26, 2006)
Eligibility
All status employees represented by Local 73 (Clerical) who are not in a probationary period and who have not reached the range maximum are eligible for merit increase consideration. An employee may receive only one merit increase per salary (contract) year.
Evaluation
A merit increase nomination for a Local 73 (Clerical) employee must be accompanied by a written evaluation of the employee's performance. As set forth in Article IV, Section 7(e) of the Agreement, a merit increase may be awarded based on the employee meeting or exceeding the following criteria:
1. Superior knowledge of the requirements of his/her position.
2. Superior quality of work
3. Ability to handle responsibility
4. Acceptable rate of productivity
5. Demonstrated initiative
6. Good attendance record
Increase Amount and Authorizations
A merit increase (e.g., 2% or 4%) recommended for an eligible employee must result in the employee being placed on a specific step in his/her salary grade, but the increase cannot exceed 8%. Supervisors must submit the written evaluation justifying the merit consideration along with a Local 73 (Clerical) Merit Increase Authorization Form (Page 2) to the unit head via appropriate departmental channels. Since merit increases are discretionary, each nomination is subject to the review and written approval of the Dean, Director, Department Head or Chairperson. The signature of the College/Administrative Unit is also required for expenditure confirmation.
Funding
Funding for any merit increases awarded will need to come from internal reallocation within units.
Timing and Transmittal
Approved increases will be implemented by the Human Resources Department, to become effective the second pay period following receipt of the completed authorization form. The form should be sent to:
