The Compensation and Career Pathways Initiative (CCPI) is a multi-year phased initiative that includes redesigning job levels to provide more consistent, transparent, market-driven, and competitive pay and to foster a greater understanding of career pathways within the redesigned structure for non-union staff at Brown.

For every staff position at Brown, there is a corresponding job description that accurately describes the job. The job description outlines the position’s major responsibilities, details how the responsibilities are accomplished, and identifies the knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to perform the job.

The salary increase pool funds all salary increases for the fiscal year, including performance increases. The Corporation approves the size of the total salary increase pool; the amount the salary budget will increase from the previous year.

All staff should have a job description that accurately describes their work. When the work performed by an incumbent changes significantly, the job description must be re-written to fully and accurately describe the work so that a comprehensive evaluation of the position can be conducted.

Brown participates in salary surveys to gather information about competitive pay practices. These surveys are used to determine the annually adjusted salary ranges which go into effect on July 1.
