1. Pay - Lateral Appointments:
A current employee who accepts a new position having the same classification and grade level is not usually eligible for a salary increase. Hiring managers should consult with HR prior to discussing salary with the candidate.
2. Performance Evaluations:
Hiring managers may view the performance evaluations of final internal candidates by contacting the Office of Human Resources.
3. Promotion:
A current employee who accepts a new position in a higher classification or grade level may be eligible for a salary increase. The amount of the increase is based on the compensation guidelines for promotions and the relevant collective bargaining agreement. Hiring managers should consult with HR prior to discussing salary with the candidate.
4. Reference Checks:
Whether an internal or external candidate, the hiring departments should conduct at least two reference checks on their top candidates prior to final selection. These reference checks will usually include the candidate’s current supervisor. Because a reference check with the current supervisor is encouraged, employees seeking another position on campus should notify their current supervisor of their candidacy for another position.
5. Performance Review Period:
A current employee promoted or hired into a different classification is normally required to complete a new one-year probationary period. The review period gives the supervising staff or faculty member an opportunity to provide orientation and training for the new employee, to review the performance expectations for the position, and to determine whether expectations are met during the initial period on the job. Specific review timelines are conducted based on collective bargaining requirements. The goal is to aid the new employee in successfully transitioning to their new position.
6. Vacation and Sick Time:
When accepting a new position within the University, employees retain the vacation and sick time accrued in the former position. Accrued vacation is not paid out.
