UAMS Compensation Study

February/March Final Update

The committee presented their final report on Sept 10,2008 to the UAMS Financial Cabinet meeting. Our original goal to rollout the process in October was postpone until February 18, 2009.  As stated earlier - changes upon implementation will NOT include adjustments of individual pay or reassignment of individuals to new jobs.  

Division and department training were conducted in February on the new Salary Equity Advisor web bases tool.  This tool will assist managers in salary administration for current and future employees.  Other guidelines for managers were developed and are now included in the UAMS Salary Guidelines document. 

The Committee would like to thank all of UAMS for their support during this process.
