The Austin Community College Board of Trustees adopted this policy on August 5, 1996, to replace the previous policy VIII-60 Placement Criteria for Administrative / Professional Employees.

VIII-60. EXPERIENCE-STEP PLACEMENT / ADVANCEMENT FOR NON-FACULTY EMPLOYEES

Non-faculty permanent employees shall be placed, as shown in the staffing table, in a salary grade appropriate to their job responsibilities and in a salary step appropriate to their experience. Accordingly, for such employees:

1. Placement credit for each full-time-equivalent year of relevant previous experience above the minimum requirements for their current job shall be no less than one-half step and no more than one step, with a limit of 10 steps.
2. Any discrepancy between actual placement and that which would result from the application of current rules must be eliminated in less than three years.
3. Employees advance one step for each year of satisfactory performance, up to the top step of their grade.

Any change in administrative placement rules which would have a financial impact of more than $100,000 in a fiscal year must have specific Board approval, preferably during the budget process.
