Subd. 6 General Salary Administration Policies
- Entry Appointment. Entry appointment should be made consistent with appropriate MnSCU salary equity guidelines. Appointments above the mid-point of the salary range that are not consistent with MnSCU salary guidelines must have the prior approval of the Chancellor's designee.
-
Promotion. An individual promoted to a position assigned by the Chancellor's designee to a higher salary range may be granted a salary increase as follows:
- placement at the minimum of the new salary range; or
- a percentage increase in any amount provided such increase does not result in placement above the midpoint of the new salary range; or
- up to a maximum of ten percent (10%) if the increase would place the administrator above the midpoint of the new salary range.
Increases of larger amounts may be granted by the Chancellor or designee based on the employment conditions which may make such action necessary.
With the exception of administrators who are below the minimum of the new salary range, nothing in the above language should be interpreted as requiring that a salary increase be granted upon promotion.
- Counters to External Offers of Employment. The Chancellor may adjust the salary of any administrator who presents to him/her written evidence of an employment offer at a higher salary from a non-MnSCU employer.
-
Review of Salary Range/Positions
- Position Descriptions. Position descriptions shall be reviewed by the administrator and his/her supervisor on a regular basis to determine if changes have occurred in the position or in the organizational structure. Revised or new position descriptions shall be approved by the Chancellor/president or designee, as appropriate.
- Review of Present Salary Range/Positions. The Chancellor or designee will assign positions to appropriate salary ranges. A request for position re-evaluation or salary range assignment review may be initiated at any time by an administrator or his/her supervisor. The procedure for handling requests for reviews shall be as set forth by the Chancellor or designee.
- Payments Under Special Circumstances
for Administrators. Administrators are paid for accomplishing
their jobs, not for the hours worked. Further, since they normally have
the ability to schedule their time to accomplish their goals and objectives,
they are excluded from Fair Labor Standards Act coverage and are therefore
not compensated for overtime.
However, if an administrator teaches a credit-generating course at another MnSCU college/university on an overload basis, the administrator will be compensated the normal rate paid for that course for part-time temporary faculty not covered under a collective bargaining agreement. Administrators who are assigned to teach a credit-generating course at their home college/university on an overload basis may, at the president's discretion, be compensated at the normal rate paid for that course for part-time temporary faculty not covered under a collective bargaining agreement. Under no circumstances may an administrator be compensated for teaching more than two (2) courses in a fiscal year.
As approved by the president, administrators may receive additional compensation for work which is totally unrelated to their positions and incidental in nature, e.g., officiating at athletic contests, musical performances, but not including instruction-related activities such as non-credit teaching, counseling, etc. In no case may the pay for such additional work exceed $1,000 per fiscal year.
Subd. 7 Salary Review and Adjustment
The Chancellor shall have the right to review and adjust administrator salaries where evidence is found of salary inequity based on gender, race, or other equity claims.
Subd. 8 Health/Dental Premium and Expense Account
Insurance eligible administrators will have an option to pay for their portion of health and dental premiums on a pretax basis as permitted by law or regulation. Administrators may cover co-payments, deductibles, and other medical and dental expenses or expenses for services not covered by health or dental insurance as permitted by law or regulation, up to a maximum expenditure of $5,000 per insurance year.
Subd. 9 Dependent Care Expense Account
Insurance eligible administrators will have an option to participate in a dependent care reimbursement program for work-related dependent care expenses on a pretax basis as permitted by law or regulation.
Subd. 10 Supplemental Retirement
Pursuant to Minnesota Statute '354C.12, the employer shall deduct from the salary of full-time administrators a sum equal to five percent (5%) of the annual salary paid after the first $6,000 up to a maximum of $1,800 in FY2000 and $2,000 in FY2001 to be paid into the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities Supplemental Retirement Account of the retirement fund. The employer shall make a contribution in an amount equal to the deductions made from the administrator's salary. Deductions shall begin in the administrator's third year of full-time employment in the system.
