RE: SUPPORT STAFF SALARY SCHEDULE
effective 1 April, 1974

 

 

This my attempt to allay concerns
that appear to have arisen as the result
of the renumbering of the Pay Rates in the
new Support Staff Salary Schedule which
is effective 1 April, and to apologize if
we have aroused such concerns.

Having established the amount of
the negotiated increase with the Support
Staff Committee, the College determined
that the position classifications and
salary levels included in the first three
rates of the old schedule were no longer
. appropriate in the light of the antici-
pated requirements of the College and that
therefore these position classifications
were redundant and should be eliminated
from the Salary Schedule. Having elimi-
the first three Pay Rates, it seemed more
logical to renumber the existing rates
to realistically reflects the actual
schedule. Thus, the old Pay Rate 4
became the new Pay Rate 1 and the old
Pay Rate 20 became the new Pay Rate 17.

No individual position or person
has been declassified or derated and
in fact everyone has received the negoti-
ated increase. Moreover, since the Pay
Rates were eliminated from the base of the
schedule & not the top, there has been no
decrease in prospects for upward classi-
fication, etc.

The new schedule as published
also reflects a number of new position
reclassifications which have been
established since the last schedule was

published and some reclassifications which

have also occurred in the interval.
Again, in every case the move has been

upwards and never downwards.

Hopefully this further informa-
tion has put things into a clearer
prospective for those employees previously
concerned. If not, or if there are
further questions, vou are invited to
contact the Personnel Office at your
convenience for more detailed informa-
tion.
