SPP 403–09: Pay Differentials

To define the compensation related to pay differentials

University policy

Classified employees

A pay differential is a compensation rate provided to an employee in a specified classification or position for duties regularly performed that require an additional rate of pay above the market rate established for the employee’s classification.

An example is a police officer who assumes motorcycle duty, who thereby incurs a greater risk than a police officer who is not assigned motorcycle duty and should receive a pay differential above that police officer.

Human Resources will review the specific classification/position that requires a pay differential and recommend the additional compensation rate of the pay differential.

The president/provost or designee must approve a pay differential.
