Answer

|
What is the pay band?
|
Pay Bands are structures established by the Commonwealth of Virginia which identify minimum and maximum salaries for a group of positions. This structure is made of a total of nine steps (or individual pay bands).
NOVA along with VCCS peer institutions, utilizes pay bands 1to
6 for the purpose of recruitment, pay practices, and compensation administration.
*NOVA has also created alternate pay bands or hiring salary ranges, within this broad pay band structure, which assigns a more specific pay range for a position based on the classification of the position and the market.
|
|
When is a selection committee needed for a position and how is the committee selected?
|
Interview/selection committees must be used for positions in Pay Band 4 or higher. Positions in Pay Band 1, 2, or 3 may be filled by the hiring supervisor or with the use of an interview/selection committee.
The Hiring Manager appoints the Selection Committee. The Selection Committee may also serve as the Interview Committee. The minimum composition of the committee should consist of:
- When a selection panel is used, panel members should:
represent a diverse population;
- become familiar with the basic responsibilities of the position for which they will interview applicants;
- normally (if classified employees) be in the same or a higher Role than the position being filled (unless they are participating as human resource professionals or individuals with a particular expertise required for the position);
- receive appropriate training, instruction or guidance on lawful selection before participation in the interview and selection process; and
- hold confidential all information related to the interviewed applicants and the recommendation or selection.
The Hiring Manager will submit to the Campus Provost the membership of the Selection/Interview Committee which will review the membership to ensure compliance with Affirmative Action guidelines before actual selection takes place.
The Provost will notify Department of Human Resources of acceptance or non-compliance.
Upon the approval of the Selection Committee by the campus provost and the Department of Human Resources, the hiring manager and the dean will discuss with the selection committee other aspects of the vacancy, such as economic considerations, College affirmative action plans, unit and College plans, institutional hiring goals, and other matters which may affect the recruitment and selection process.

Why is my salary different from my peer who has the same position, education and experience?
