Job-related Skill Enhancement Pay
How does it work?
Job-related Skill Enhancement Pay may be given to staff employees who take the initiative through their own efforts to complete a prescribed course of study that is directly related to the position held. The employee must present evidence of mastery such as a degree, certificate, or license for consideration. The employee must have an overall performance appraisal rating of "meets expectations" or higher and must not be currently subject to formal disciplinary action.
How often can it be given?
Qualifying credentials for the Job-related Skill Enhancement Pay Program must be conferred on or after September 1, 2001. Requests may be approved at any time during the fiscal year but should be submitted within three (3) months of the date the certification is completed. Employees may receive only one award per qualifying event.
Who approves it?
Vice Presidents or their designees are authorized to approve Job-related Skill Enhancement Pay increases up to 10 percent above the employee's current salary. This increase is added to the employee's base pay. The effective date for the new rate of pay will be on or after the beginning of the pay period in which the request receives final written approval from the Vice President or their designee.
