SUBJECT: Development of Policy on Principles for Employee Compensation

RECOMMENDATION
That the Board of Trustees make preliminary choices among the alternatives listed in the "composite" policy draft on Principles For Employee Compensation.

RELATED BOARD POLICY OR RESOLUTION:
The item was identified as a 1999 policy-development priority by Board vote in November 1998.

RATIONALE:
This policy topic is being developed using the "composite" draft method used earlier for the policy on use of adjunct faculty. Provisions reflecting each issue or approach identified as of interest by a Trustee are included as alternatives for discussion and consideration (with the shortest alternatives listed first).

For this meeting, the goal is for Trustees to choose among the listed alternative provisions for a least the first 2/3 of the policy. Any remaining provisions, plus further amendments to perfect the preliminary choices made at this meeting, would be made at the August meeting.

BUDGETARY CONSIDERATIONS:
While the policy will have a substantial long-term financial impact, it does not directly cause any expenditure. Its impact would be through the annual budget process, where efforts to reach the compensation goals declared by the policy would be balanced against other College needs.
