As you work through determining the applicable hire type, the following resources will provide guidance if a job profile is required.
For more detailed information (e.g., benefit eligibility, leave provisions, and vacation) on each hire type, visit MaPS - Employment Type Summary.
The MaPS Classification Grid defines the Career Bands and Levels within the MaPS Compensation Framework. Each MaPS position will be evaluated into one of the career bands and levels.
When creating new jobs, departments should first consider organizational structure, job design, career band and level. The MaPS Job Title Standards provide options at each career band and level to ensure job titles accurately describe the role and the nature of work being performed, as well as ensuring consistency across the university.
Job profiles are a requirement of job evaluation, the process where the family and phase or career band and level of a job are determined. Guidance on writing job profiles can be found in the Guidelines for Writing Job Profiles.
The MaPS Salary Management Guidelines define salary options for both internal promotion and new hires.
Guidance for making salary decisions begins on page 11 and salary ranges are located on page 18.
