Subject:           Add/Drop Classified Unrepresented Salary Ranges

The changes to the classified unrepresented salary ranges have been made, per the Cost Directive updated 10/15/12.

The following actions were processed by HR Systems in PPDB for unrepresented employees last week.  Some of these actions resulted in a retroactive change back to the July 2012 pay period which may result in an employee receiving multiple pay statements for the November 1st pay date.

Actions completed in PPDB prior to October Payroll Cutoff Run1:

·        Compensation plans were updated for classified unrepresented classifications adding a new top step and eliminating the bottom step;

·        Employees who were on Step 1 of the former compensation plan were moved to Step 1 (old Step 2) of the updated compensation plan, retroactive to 07/01/12;

·        Salary Eligibility Dates (SED) were adjusted for employees who were at MAX prior to the adding of the new top step. If the employee's adjusted SED fell between 07/01/12 through 10/31/12 the initial half step increase was processed and a second ½ step will be applied six months later.

·        Step numbers were updated on the employee's record to correctly align with the changes on the compensation plan (example: if employee was at old Step 4 record was updated to show Step 3).

Attached is a sample letter you may modify for your use to provide to employees to explain the changes. HR Systems will send lists of employees affected by the change to agencies.

If you have any PPDB questions regarding these updates please email GROUP.PPDB at STATE.OR.US<mailto:GROUP.PPDB at STATE.OR.US>
