Ìý - Duties &ÌýResponsibilities:ÌýThe primary and essential work functions performed by an employee or group of employees as documented in the position description(s). Variation in these duties and responsibilities help distinguish one employee from another for comparison purposes.
- Performance: The candidate or incumbent's previous and/or current work accomplishments or outcomes and behavioral interactions that are typically assessed in written, verbal, or observational forms. NOTE: All management-initiated salary increases normally are based on employees meeting an acceptable performance level.
Ìý - Work Experience &ÌýEducation:ÌýThe candidate or incumbent's relevant employment history and academic qualifications.

Ìý - Knowledge, Skills, Abilities & Competencies:ÌýElements commonly listed for job requirements, hiring qualifications or employee credentials.

Ìý - Training, Certification & License:ÌýJob requirements or employee qualifications that are relevant or highly desirable for a particular job.

A license is a credential that is required by law to practice one's occupation (e.g., licensed counselor).
Ìý - Internal Salary Alignment:ÌýA fairness criterion that takes into consideration the proximity of one employee's salary to the salaries of others who have comparable levels of training and experience, similar duties and responsibilities, similar performance, and similar knowledge, skills, abilities, and competencies.

- Budget Implications:ÌýThe short and long-term financial consequences of pay decisions and the way salary dollars are managed by the university.
