Salary Committee

General Description

Responsibility

The Committee’s primary responsibility is to consider the implications of salary increases in the long run.

Principal Activities

The Committee communicates with staff as part of the annual budget cycle to review overall salary increases, with the goal of producing a recommendation for salary increases to the BT that is supported by both the staff and the Committee.

Miscellaneous Information

The Committee is generally active in the fall and meets several weeks prior to the fall BT meeting.

Note to the Chair

Committee chairs should be informed, at the beginning of each fiscal period, of the budget of their committees and cautioned to remain within the budget. Such items as travel reimbursement, accommodations, and meals for guests of any kind fall within these budgets.

For the purpose of archiving the committee activities, the Secretary maintains a central file system for archiving committee records. Committee Chairs are asked to submit committee records on yearly basis. Chairs can submit material at their discretion, and some materials that they may wish to provide are meeting minutes, agenda, and emails. Confidential material should be noted, so that it can be handled in a confidential manner.
