For full explanation of how this information is to be used click here and read the disclaimer.
Classified
Classified employees that transfer from one position to another, which does not result in a change of pay grade, are not eligible for a change in pay. However, if the appointment to the new position is by way of an open competitive recruitment and the department has justification to pay the candidate at a higher rate then would be set by a standard transfer, the department “Request to Accelerate Salary” form must be completed and approved by Business Center North Human Resources prior to offering the position to the employee. For further assistance or information regarding classified transfers please refer to NAC 284.106 and NAC 284.170 or contact Business Center North Human Resources at 775-784-6844.
Given the complexity and the unique set of circumstances that often accompany a demotion in the classified system, Business Center North Human Resources should be contact at 775-784-6844 if such a situation occurs.
Administrative Faculty
A lateral transfer is the movement of a faculty member to another job in the same pay range as his or her present job within a department or between two departments. Lateral transfers should be accomplished without an increase in salary and could possibly result in a pay decrease depending upon the funds and equity within the department. Transfer may occur as the result of reorganization.
Demotion/reassignment is movement to a different position at a lower range as a result of the faculty member’s request or an involuntary change. Demotion/reassignment is subject to a decrease in salary dependent on the range of the new position, salaries of incumbents currently in a similar position and equity across the University campus and within the department. If the demotion/reassignment is due to unsatisfactory performance, the salary decrease will be at a minimum of 10% per range decreased. In cases of demotion/reassignment, if the current salary is beyond the maximum of the lower range, the current salary is retained until such time as it is within the range as a result of range adjustments (i.e. ineligible for merit and COLA).
