G-32-17.1.3 Classified and Non-Represented/Regular Placement

As a matter of practice, all vacant classified and non-represented/regular positions are advertised between the minimum and equity point of the appropriate salary level for the position. The initial salary placement for a successful candidate will be determined by the Vice President of People/Technology in consultation with the hiring supervisor and will be based on factors adopted by COCC per the Oregon Equal Pay Act. The equity point for a position is based on the comparability of the position with existing COCC positions and current employees in those positions. Primary comparable factors include education, experience, and seniority in a position. Other factors may be considered for non-comparable positions, such as the scope and impact of a position, but these are not guaranteed if a position is comparable. For non-comparable positions, internal equity is also considered. Position funding is a component of every salary placement.
