The process used to assign new Administrator positions to a salary range and to review and, where appropriate, change the salary range assignment of existing positions when substantive changes in duties and responsibilities occur is described below:
The Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system has been using external salary data to aid us in assigning administrator positions to a salary range since 2001. We use data from a nationwide salary survey to determine which of the fourteen salary ranges on our salary schedule is the most appropriate for positions occupied by our vice presidents of academic, administrative and student affairs, chief information officers, and others.
The use of external market data differs from a traditional job classification system in two primary ways. The first difference is that the focus of market-based salary setting is on broad comparisons with positions outside the System, not detailed comparisons with positions in the System. The second primary difference between making market-based salary range assignments and using a traditional classification system is that a market-based system gives an employer more control over how its salary ranges relate to actual salaries paid by other employers competing for the same talent pool.
