• Ensure the job descriptions are current and accurate. Develop desk or departmental job descriptions to more clearly define what is done in your particular area, unless the generic job description is a very close match. The education and experience requirements of the job description must match the generic job description.
  
  
• Review your staff’s salaries at least once every fiscal year in order to determine and make salary changes. Use the Job Changes/Salary Actions and Merit Program guidelines for assistance.
  
  
• Familiarize yourself with non-base salary benefits such as paid leave, insurance, retirement, recreational facilities, and flex schedules. Direct your questions to the *Benefits Department. Reward employees with non-monetary rewards such as sincere praise, thanks for a job well-done, and lunches, pizza parties, cakes, etc., for achieving milestones.
  
  
  

When a job changes significantly or you need to develop a new job, a compensation analyst can assist you to determine if an existing job title/description is suitable. You will need to complete a Job Information Questionnaire (JIQ). The job will need to be evaluated by the Human Resources compensation area and approved by UT System.
