The classification/compensation section works with class specifications developed by The State Universities Civil Service System to determine the appropriate classification for Civil Service positions. All positions at Illinois State University are assigned to an appropriate title and pay scale under the direction of the Office of Human Resources. Staff also assign pay grades and review salary equity on an annual basis. For more information pertaining to the Civil Service System, visit the State Universities Civil Service System (SUCSS).
Each Civil Service position is assigned to a classification based on the assigned duties, responsibilities, and requirements of the job as stated in the job description. Class specifications delineate the basic responsibilities and the minimum skill and knowledge requirements of each classification.
Civil Service positions at Illinois State are grouped into titles using a classification system established by the State Universities Civil Service System and require Civil Service examinations for hire and promotional opportunities. A probationary period of either 6 or 12 months is required when entering a Civil Service classification.
Non-negotiated salaries and ranges are determined making comparisons to like positions in local, regional, state or national markets and with particular consideration given to data from similar institutions of comparable size and locale, plus our own internal equity. Ranges are submitted to and approved by the State Universities Civil Service System.
The Offices of Human Resources and Planning & Institutional Research participate in or conduct surveys annually to maintain awareness of compensation trends and issues.
When promotions occur, salary increases are based on a percentage of the employee’s base salary, usually ten (10) percent but must not be less than the range minimum for the new classification.
