Each position at the College is defined as exempt or nonexempt based on the duties and responsibilities of that position as stated in the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and Ohio law. Each position is classified and is assigned a specific pay range by Human Resources. Human Resources reviews specific positions to ensure that positions are correctly classified and that job descriptions reflect any changes in the duties and responsibilities of the position. The FLSA and Ohio law also require that employers pay nonexempt employees a minimum wage for each hour worked and overtime pay at the rate of one and one-half times the employee's regular rate for each hour worked over forty in a work week.
The purpose of the salary administration/job evaluation program is to provide an objective system that can be used to relate the salaries of our regular employees to the organizational value of each position. The objectives of the program are as follows:
- Define clearly the responsibilities and requirements of each position through written position descriptions.
- Determine the value of each position to the College in the external labor market
- Develop a structure for wages that promotes internal equity among positions.
- Compensate employees on an equitable basis without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, or non-performance related disability.
- Promote and maintain effective communications throughout the College with regard to salary administration and position evaluation.
The policy of the College is to attempt to maintain pay rates that are competitive in the appropriate local and national markets, taking into consideration the College's fiscal position and its geographic location.
