To:                   Non-Faculty Staff Members

 

Texas A&M University-Commerce values all staff members and the
contributions that they make to the success of our students and the
University.  Staff members are a critical part of this institution and
our goal is to hire and retain an excellent workforce who will have the
opportunity to make significant contributions as the University moves
forward during challenging and changing times.

 

As we strive for excellence, we also realize the need for increasing
compensation that will assist the University in attracting and retaining
quality staff.  With that in mind and with our commitment to employees,
I am pleased to announce that we will  increase the minimum starting
salary for Zones 1 - 17 by 10% effective September 1, 2008.  There will
be staff members who are currently below the new minimum starting
salaries whose salaries will be affected by the change.  If you are one
of the employees affected, you and your supervisor will receive a letter
from human resources advising you of your status    Approximately 144
employees or 28% of the non-faculty workforce will have adjustments made
to their salaries based on the increase in minimums.      

 

The University has had a policy for several years for employees hired in
at the minimum starting salary in Zones 1 - 9 and their eligibility for
a 3% salary increase after six months of employment. With the
implementation of the new salary schedule, as of June 30, 2008, the 3%
increase will no longer be in effect.  

 

Please accept my best wishes and thank you for a job well done as the
University moves forward with growth and change. 

 

Sincerely,

 

 

 

President Keith D. McFarland
