Is longevity considered when determining salary?
A. Longevity in itself is not a consideration when determining salary. We would expect that in many cases additional experience may lead to an increase in job knowledge, skill, abilities, and the capacity for complex work, and these factors are considered when determining salary. While longevity alone is not factor in determining salary placements, individual employee’s pay rates from the previous compensation program have been retained, and folded into the new compensation program. This may have lead to longer term employees being paid a premium on the market value of the position as there were no reductions in salary with the implementation of the new compensation program.
