Payment Forms

Miscellaneous Pay and Non-Base Compensation forms can be used to pay staff and faculty for duties they perform beyond the regular responsibilities of their job. Overloads are paid to full-time faculty members for teaching courses beyond their regular course load. These forms are available in the Internal web section.

Grades and Salary Ranges

The University of St. Thomas' compensation structure comprises 8 pay bands with corresponding salary ranges. The salary ranges are determined through an ongoing comprehensive comparable labor market analysis.

Performance & Assessment Forms

Together with the implementation of the new Performance Assessment and Management Policy that went into effect on July 1, 2005 come new forms and procedures. Employee evaluations for 2006 will require employees and supervisors to utilize these new forms. They can be found on our Performance Assesment and Management page. 

Equity and Market Adjustment Funds 

The University establishes each year a separate fund called the Equity Adjustment Pool for several purposes: (1) to address competitive labor market forces that affect the relative market position of St. Thomas job classifications that cause unique pay inequities within the university’s salary system, (2) to fund salary increases when an employee’s job is reclassified due to a substantial change in job responsibilities, and/or (3) to address internal pay inequities caused primarily by hiring decisions. Not supported by these procedures are requests to correct inequities resulting from the department's distribution of merit pay increases. Please use the Staff Equity Adjustment Request Form for requesting an equity or market adjustment or a reclassification.  For further information, refer to the Process for Requesting the Use of Equity Adjustment Funds.
