I. Introduction The Research Foundation developed a corporate-wide salary program designed to guide principal investigators and managers in determining employee salaries, cover employees working in both administrative and sponsored program positions, remain competitive in the marketplace, and reinforce the separate nature of Research Foundation employment from State University of New York (SUNY) employment. As you know the RF's salary plan is ending June 30 2012. Given the uncertain economic climate and the status of union negotiations, the RF will implement a one year corporate salary plan for FY 2013, with projected across the board (ATB)and discretionary increases for FY14 and FY15. This salary plan was developed based on analysis of market data and NYS Union contracts that have been ratified. If you are interested in seeing the data or having a discussion in regards to this salary plan please don't hesitate to contact the RF. II. Salary Factors Salary adjustment decisions should consider the effect of three primary factors: Changes in market conditions: Particular attention should be paid to the effect of inflation on salaries and to competitive salaries in the research area or external market. Changes in individual productivity: The Research Foundation is committed to pay for performance, thus salary increases should reward employees for increased productivity and meritorious performance. Resources available: An underlying factor in the Research Foundation salary program is the acknowledgement that sponsored funding for projects may be limited due to salary caps and other sponsor restrictions, and that salary increases are contingent upon availability of funds as well as grant or contract terms and conditions. III. Salary Administration Rules The following general rules apply: Salary rates below the salary range: Salaries at rates below the appropriate salary range will not be authorized. Salary rates above the salary range: Salaries at rates above the appropriate salary range, or increases that would raise salaries to rates above the salary range, will be authorized on an exception basis and will require the prior approval of the Research Foundation Operations Manager. Written justification must be kept on file. Salary rates for SUNY-paid faculty with Research Foundation "summer only" appointments: SUNY faculty who are appointed to the Research Foundation on a "summer only" appointment may be paid a rate equal to their SUNY salary rate, as outlined in the document Salary Rules and Policies When Assigning Summer Employees. Please call the RF HR office at Buffalo State (716-878-4046) and we will furnish you with the Salary Rules for Summer employment.

IV. FY13 Corporate Salary Plan and Policy Across the Board (ATB) for administrative and sponsored program employees 0% Discretionary for sponsored program employees based on availability of funds Discretionary increases: Individual discretionary base salary adjustments are authorized based on performance and/or equity considerations, subject to the availability of funds. Awards: Individual one-time discretionary awards, not added to the employee's base salary, are authorized, subject to the availability of funds Performance evaluation: For any sponsored program employee receiving a discretionary increase or award of more than 10 percent of his or her base salary, written justification for the increase must be kept on file. Increases should not be awarded if an employee has less than acceptable performance. The RF at Buffalo State will be implementing an online performance management program that will be available to review July 1, 2012. Training will take place starting the month of July 2012 and will continue until the system is a required part of the operation of a sponsored program beginning January of 2013. Effective date for increases: Salary increases covered under this plan may be made effective either July 1, the employee's anniversary date, or the project anniversary date. Use of a different date, when required for budgetary reasons, must be documented and kept on file at the operating location. VI. Other Salary Adjustments Salary adjustments other than those covered by this plan (e.g., hiring salary, promotional increases, and equity adjustments) should follow policies and procedures set forth by the RF at Buffalo State. Questions or specific issues should be forwarded to the Research Foundation s Director of Human Resources, Sandra Cochran. Thank you! Sandra Cochran, Director, Human Resources, RF Lisa Krieger, Interim Director, RF Robert Baumet, Deputy Operations Manager, RF Jim Thor, Operations Manager, RF
