Changes In Employment Or Pay

(effective 1/1/07)

Employees who are interested in pursuing career opportunities at Lesley University can learn more about the kinds of positions available and the training and experience that may be required for advancement, by checking the job postings on the Human Resources web site.

Please contact the Employment and Staffing Manager at 617.349.8788, if you are interested in pursuing an opening, or learning about a vacancy. Job Postings may be found on the Human Resources web site.

Moving to a Different Job:

• Lateral Move:
  If you transfer to a position at the same grade level, your current rate of pay may, or may not change, depending on the responsibilities and skills required for the new position.
• Promotion:
  In order to be considered for a promotion (a different job at a higher grade), you must have been working in your current position at Lesley for at least six months.
  
  To be considered for a posted position, you must apply for the position. An interview for the position is not a guarantee. Applicants must meet the minimum entrance requirements for the vacant position. If you are chosen as a finalist, it is expected that you will inform your current supervisor as soon as possible. If selected, your current and new supervisors will mutually determine the start date for the new position, not to exceed four weeks from the offer date.
  
  Human Resources will advise employees of any changes in compensation and benefits resulting from the promotion.
• Temporary Transfer:
  If you are assigned to replace a co-worker in a higher graded job, or fill a vacancy at higher level for at least six weeks, you may be eligible for a temporary increase in the form of a stipend. The Department Manager in consultation with Human Resources determines the amount of the stipend. At the conclusion of the temporary transfer the stipend will cease, and you will be paid at your previous rate.

Change or Reclassification to Your Existing Job:

• Upgrade:
  If the scope of your position changes due to a significant increase in responsibilities, your position will be reviewed by your Department Manager and evaluated by Human Resources to determine if a reclassification is warranted.
• Downgrade:
  In the event that you are demoted to a job in a lower range, your pay may be reduced. The new pay rate will be established after consultation with Human Resources.
