Starting Rate of Pay - P&S

Effective: Moved to Policy Library from UPM 4.4(3)
Contact: Classification and Compensation Office

Introduction

This policy applies to ISU employees within the Professional and Scientific (P&S) classification system.

Policy Statement

A new P&S appointee should ordinarily be hired within the hiring range (e.g., first third) of the respective pay grade, allowing for variations within the first third of the pay grade justified on the basis of prior experience or market conditions. Salary offers above the first third of the position's pay grade require prior approval by the department of Human Resource Services. Requests will be reviewed based on evidence of market conditions and/or on the exceptional qualifications and experience of the selected candidate, and the requested salary will be evaluated in relation to the salaries of employees in comparable positions within the university.

If the employing department disagrees with the recommendation of Human Resource Services, an appeal may be made to the executive vice president and provost.
