The Compensation Program is designed to meet the following key objectives:
Attract and Retain Qualified Employees
The university has established competitive salary ranges based on market data in order to attract and retain qualified employees. Competitive salary ranges balanced with an excellent benefit package, work/life program and work environment combine to make the university an employer of choice.
Externally Competitive
UTHSCH salary ranges take into consideration the local, state and/or national rates of pay in both the private and public sectors. To maintain competitive salary ranges we participate in annual salary surveys, analyze prevailing market pay rates and adjust salary ranges as appropriate.
Performance Based Pay
An employee's salary placement depends on his/her performance and on UT-Houston's financial performance and ability to achieve the strategic goals.
Internally Equitable
Jobs are evaluated based on market (pay) data from salary surveys. The basis for selecting market data is job comparison, determined by comparing the duties and responsibilities of the UT-Houston position with the survey position. Positions are matched on job content, not job title. Several factors are considered to establish and maintain internal pay equity among employees. These factors include applicable work experience, education, appropriate certifications and licensure's, performance, consistent application of pay policies and practices, as well as the use of non-monetary rewards.
Legal Compliance
Compensation programs are designed to comply with federal and state regulations and laws.
