Supervisor Guide: Rate and Title Requests - Overview

This document describes the various salary adjustments and how HR Business Partners with work with supervisors determine the most appropriate adjustment to use for a request.

Pay Adjustment Process

  1. When it is determined that there is a need to review an employee's compensation and provide a rate increase, supervisors should start the process by reaching out to their HR Business partner: SMPH HR Contact Information
  2. HR Business Partners will work in collaboration with supervisors to gather necessary information, analyze data and reports and use compensation guidelines and best practices to create a rate adjustment request. 
  3. HR Business Partners will submit a request for the Compensation teams review. 
  4. The SMPH Compensation Team reviews Rate/Title requests as they are submitted. The requests are presented to the Rate and Title Review Committee on a weekly basis for their review and approval. Committee review will be focused on the justification provided by HRBPs on behalf of the departments making the requests. The Review Committee is made up of several Associate Dean's and HR Professionals. 
  5. Once requests are approved by the Review Committee, the majority of requests are then sent to OHR for their review and approval.
  6. Once OHR approves a request the HRBP will notify the supervisor/department. Rate requests should not be communicated with employees until they have gone through the full approval process.
