Review Objectives

The University’s job grades and pay structure have evolved over the years. A review is timely, to better reflect market conditions and further promote a performance-based work culture, which is also critical to talent attraction and retention.

The University launched Grading and Pay Structure (‘GPS’) Review in May 2023, with an objective of developing an optimal system for talent attraction/retention and performance management to achieve its strategic goals in a financially sustainable manner. ​

 

Target Deliverables from GPS Review

  • Streamlined and consistent grading structure to reflect the internal relativity of different jobs​
  • A foundation of pay ranges development to offer a structured basis for external pay benchmarking and facilitate effective and flexible pay decisions​
  • A grading structure to enable decoupling titles from ranks allowing titles for better representation of actual job content
  • A structure of continuous pay ranges by grades to provide more flexibility and a performance-driven culture​
  • Adjustments to the pay ranges to be supported by market benchmarking results to maintain competitiveness
