Q & A

Compensation

Emily Runser, Manager,

Compensation

Is the action a reclass or does it require posting?

When is it a reclassification? • Employee has been performing significant and substantial duties on a

permanent basis for consideration to a new position

– Comparison of old position to new position

– New duties from new position have already been assumed (significant change)

– Does not include redistribution of old job duties

– Does not include increased volume of current duties

• This is the only employee within department that meets the minimum qualifications for the new duties and is actually performing the duties

• Meets minimum qualifications

– F and above require a Bachelor’s degree

– Management positions require prior work coordination or management of others (Lead does not require management qualifications)

• Make sure the employee meets the minimum qualifications required to perform the higher level job.

When must it be a competitive recruitment?

• At least one other employee in the department meet the minimum qualifications of the job

• Employee has not yet assumed the new duties

• Positions in pay level G and above – As employees climb higher within the University, the fewer

opportunities are available

– Pay Level G and above contain a majority of UMB management or lead positions

– Exceptions maybe granted for positions by AVPHR or President upon review of written request from department

School/Department Specific Posting

• Must have at least one other employee that is eligible to compete for the job

– Meets minimum qualifications

– Has the knowledge, skills, and abilities to learn the position

– The job is pay level F or below

Posting for All Positions

• Benefits of competitive recruitment:

– Non-discrimination

– Pre-selection avoidance

– Provides opportunities for others on campus

Dual Employment

Identification and Considerations

Identify Dual Employment

• Ask your employees if they work for another employer

• Determine if the employer is a MD State Agency

• Reference list of MD State Agencies can be found at http://www.maryland.gov/pages/agency_directory.aspx

• Contractual employees must complete Dual Employment section on Contract – No Dual Employment

– Dual Employment and listing the agency

– Required by USM and DBM

Considerations for Dual Employment

• Concurrent Employment within State of Maryland Agencies

• Must be SAME FLSA (exempt/nonexempt) for all positions

• Nonexempt - Not recommended to hire applicants into nonexempt positions if they will have concurrent employment at another state agency

• Adjuncts – cumulative credits taught throughout USM schools determine eligibility for benefits

Dual Employment of Non-Exempt

• Nonexempt state employees must be paid overtime for all hours worked over 40 in a week

– Example: FT @ UMBC and PT 16 hours @ UMB – all hours at UMB must be paid at overtime • Must obtain UMBC timesheets and hourly rates for each pay

period • Must work with UMB Payroll to ensure payments are

accurate

– Failure to pay overtime for all hours worked could: • Result in major penalties and fines from DOL • Trigger full review of UMB pay practices by DOL

Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)

Update

$50,440 Proposed FLSA Threshold

Benefits Update

Patricia Hoffmann, Director,

Benefits, Compensation and Wellness

DBM Postponing State Personnel System (SPS) Implementation

• Too many issues to resolve before planned go-live date

• Eligibility for Health Benefits remains the same as today

• IVR will be used during Open Enrollment

– No major plan design changes

Still need to Prepare for the SPS Implementation

• The plan is for UMB to send DBM a biweekly eligibility file with data fields requested by DBM

• DBM will determine who is benefit eligible from the data

• All UMB data needs to be correct:

– Employee contact info such as home address, email address, phone numbers

– Contracts must be up to date or coverage could end when contract ends

Data Cleanup for SPS, Federal Reporting, and Internal Use

• HRS will launch a ‘campaign’ to remind employees to keep their information current, including:

– All personal contact information including work and personal email accounts, cell, office and home phone numbers, and mailing addresses

– Veteran status

– Disability status

– Highest level education attained

Getting ready…

• When DBM implements SPS, UMB will be the system of record for employee contact information, including email, phone and home addresses.

• Email will be the primary way DBM will communicate with those participating in benefits

• Communications will be sent from HRS soon • Offboarding will be considered to ensure

transfers in and out do not have disruption of coverage

Affordable Care Act

• All employees who scheduled to work at least 30 hours per week in a 90 day period are eligible for healthcare coverage

• Let Compensation know if your employee has multiple jobs within the USM or State – we will need to determine their eligibility based on all state/USM hours worked

• Imperative to have C1s and C2s fully complete their contracts (including dual employment section)

• Contract begin and end dates must be accurate not only for the purpose of determining eligibility, but also for DBM to use to begin/end coverage.

More to come!

• We will keep you up to date with the SPS implementation status

• C1 and C2 contracts must be in compliance with policy; Compensation will address

• We will be looking at limiting retroactive adjustments to a shorter period of time
