The University of Texas at Tyler Employee Handbook

SALARY INCREASES

When budgetary sources permit, salary increases may be awarded when significant responsibilities outside the routine tasks indicated on the Job Description are added to a position, and the addition of these duties does not warrant reclassification. Significant responsibilities are defined as additional duties requiring at least 10% of an employee’s work schedule. Salary increases may also be given due to the competitive job market. All salary increase recommendations must have a detailed justification. Salary increases are NOT to be used for merit purposes. Exceptions to Wage and Salary Policies: any exceptions to the above policies require the advance approval of the Director of Human Resources and/or the Vice President for Academic Affairs, the Vice President for Business Affairs, or the President.
