UCCS (and the rest of the CU campuses) are implementing the salary survey increases for student employees for the Fall 2008 term (Effective 8/10/08). The increases are in concert with the State Salary Survey increases that begin on 7/1/08 for classified staff.
These cost of living increases are in addition to any raises you may be giving your employees for merit, increased responsibility, longevity, etc. You should give your students other raises according to your current Compensation Plan. If you revise your plan, make sure that all students are treated equally and not arbitrarily. Please send us an electronic copy of your Plan if you do revise it (stuemp@uccs.edu).
Your department’s current compensation plan and job descriptions
are now available on the web at: http://www.uccs.edu/stuemp/On
Campus.htm.
Please check your department’s listings there for accuracy and submit
any updates/changes to us via email attachments.
The new minimum and maximum rates for each job class are listed at the top of this page. The Student Employment Office will automatically adjust students who are currently still active on the PSHR system—those who are currently working this summer term who will continue for the fall term.
However, as you post Fall jobs for SEAN’s Place and as you hire new student employees for the Fall term, it is imperative that you use the new pay rates on the Job Orders and Job Data Worksheets (JDW’s) as you complete them. Remember, JDW’s are required to rehire/reappoint all student employees for the fall term EXCEPT those who were reappointed during the summer term.
The wage increases will range from $0.34 to $0.48 per hour—depending on the job class and the student's respective placement in the range of the job class. (These increases are approximately 3% in most cases—paralleling the increases to the state job classes at and/or near the bottom of their respective ranges).
If you haven't already, be sure to place your Fall Job Orders with us now!! Go to the Employer Job Posting Information employers on our web site. Students may begin viewing jobs on SEAN's Place beginning 7/21/08; they may begin working for Fall term on 8/10/08!!
Summer term pay rates remain the same through 8/9/08.
Student Assistant I—add $0.34 to their current wage
