PBA Initiatives Summary 2010-11 PlanningAccountabilityBudgeting Project RequestPriority Link to Planning & Assessment * Current Status/RationaleDesired Benchmark/Goal Requested Budget Increase Requested Source Support for COLA 1 Serious (S.3), Operational Imperatives (OI.2) PACE Focus Area: Compensation Staff have not had a cost of living adjustment for two years. A cost of living adjustment for all staff employees of at least 2%. Amount dependant on COLA percent. Appropriated Equity/Retention money for Staff 2 Serious (S.3), Operational Imperatives (OI.1/2/3) PACE Focus Area: Compensation and Benefits The University’s multi-year approach of aligning staff salaries to market benchmarks had made good progress in 2007, 2008 and 2010. However, staff equity/retention issues still occur. Since the University must address rank and tenure increases for faculty, PACE would like similar consideration for staff. Staff salaries align with market benchmarks and maintain appropriate relationships between the salaries of employees performing work at the same level with similar levels of University experience, background, and performance. The University is able to respond as needs arise to retain employees with unique, specialized, or critical skill sets necessary for the operation of a given unit or division. $350,000 Appropriated Increase to PACE Operating Budget 3 Serious (S.4) Inclusive (I.2) PACE Focus Area: All Current Travel Budget is $40 Current operating budget is $3,670. Limited budget significantly limits participation in associations such as UHESA Appropriate funds to meet the growing needs of PACE and its representation of staff concerns not only at Utah Valley University but also within the Utah system of Higher Education $7,100 Appropriated
