Common use of Wage Progression Process Clause in Contracts

Wage Progression Process. The process provides for rewarding employees through pay progression within their current position and classification. Opportunities for increased compensation may be available for application of new skills and expertise already developed over time in the job or based on plans set forth for future development. Employees who are interested in wage progression should approach their supervisors by completing the appropriate form, a copy of which will be sent to the VP/VP designee. The employee will be informed of the status of his/her request within thirty (30) days of submitting the form. Supervisors/managers/administrators may also approach employees with suggestions for increasing employee skills in order to take advantage of wage progression. (See Criteria) Progression opportunities should be demonstrably equally available to all staff who meet the criteria. Skills and expertise already developed should be documented including objective evidence of how those skills and expertise were applied in the job. This information should be mutually agreed upon and submitted on the Wage Progression/Lump Sum Bonus Form. The opportunity for increased future compensation, based on plans set forth for future development, ideally begins with a mutual agreement between an employee and their supervisor. The written agreement submitted on the Wage Progression/Lump Sum Bonus Form will include specifics of the agreed upon criteria, the objective evidence that will be used to assess whether the employee has met the agreed upon criteria, and a time-line for completion. There could be a general progression arrangement for the department as a whole or an individual progression agreement for a single employee. The supervisor should meet with the employee requesting wage progression. The supervisor will document the discussion and agreement (if any), sending copies to the employee, department head and VP designee.
