V702.04 VCSU Salary Administration Policy
Philosophy and Objectives
The primary purpose of the salary administration process at Valley City State University is to further the institution's mission by attracting and retaining qualified employees. Individuals involved in the process will strive to make decisions fairly and communicate them effectively. In an environment of limited resources, salary adjustments are particularly sensitive issues. As a result, Valley City State University is committed to an open and honest dialogue.
Methods and Guidelines
The ability to make salary adjustments at the campus level depends on legislative action and State Board of Higher Education (SBHE) guidelines. In some years, the campus may not receive funds or authorization to exercise discretion with salary allocation.
Policy V605.3, section 3 describes a process for communicating with Faculty Senate annually in the fall regarding anticipated budget conditions for the following year. The Vice President for Business Affairs is responsible for implementing this process.
