System-wide Pay Plan Titles

The Texas A&M System-wide Pay Plan is administered by the Pay Plan Administration Committee and the Pay Plan Administrator at the System level. Each pay plan classification has associated with it a job title, title code, salary pay grade, FLSA exemption status, and job family.

Salary pay grades will be divided into three bands, allowing for greater flexibility for determining hire rates at the department level. The Lower Band may be used with Department Head Authorization. The Middle Band will require authorization at the level of VP/Dean or Designee. And use of the Upper Band will require authorization by both the VP and the VP of Human Resources and Organizational Effectiveness (may not be delegated).
