To provide the employees with the opportunity to give their work history as well as their perspective on what is related to their current position. Leaders provided the final interpretation of work experience just as they do for new hire and/or position change decisions.

The employee's direct supervisor received the information to review and made the final determination.

Both. Employees should have provided all work history, including WSU.

Employees can use their job code or job title to search for the job catalog job description to find the summary, essential functions, required education, required experience, and any required certifications and/or licensures. Information on where to find the job catalog job description can be found here: Accessing the Job Catalog

Your leader has this information and can provide it to you. If you are in the same position, but have a new leader since the data was collected or if you are in a new position, your leader may contact marketbasedcomp@wichita.edu for this information.

Employees are encouraged to speak with their direct supervisor if they disagree with the final work history determination. If the leader and employee agree there needs to be a change to the number of years of prior work experience, the leader needs to communicate this to MarketBasedComp@wichita.edu. The adjusted number may not be able to be used in the current pay analysis, however it will be used in future pay analysis. If the employee and leader are unable to resolve the concern, employees should follow Policy 3.15 - Internal Dispute Resolution Process.

We are only able to assess work history that is submitted during the survey period. If an employee did not submit their work history during the survey period, the employee’s leader was asked to provide the information.

Where we use the faculty model (primarily teaching, service, research - do not have an associated job code), we are not collecting this information. For individuals where we are using the job code in the model (for roles that are primarily administrative in nature and/or staff), we collected this information. Deans (including Associate and Assistant) are assigned a job code, so we collected their prior work history information.
