25 NCAC 01D .0701. DEFINITION

(a)  Salary range revision is any change in a salary range approved by the State Human Resources Commission and resulting from changes in the labor market.

(b)  The primary purpose of a range revision is to provide current and competitive salary rates for the use of managers with recruitment responsibilities.  Revisions resulting from upward changes in the labor market serve another purpose in helping reduce the vulnerability of employees to external job offers when their salaries are below the market average as reflected by the mid-point of the salary range.

(c)  Salary increases as a result of salary range revision are not rewards for job performance or assumption of greater responsibility.  Increases provided by this policy are for maintenance of labor market competitive pay levels for affected employees.  For employees below the midpoint, management is encouraged to increase salaries.  Factors that influence the amount of increase include current salary relationship to the minimum and midpoint rates, salary equity among affected employees and satisfactory job performance.
