HR made some changes to the position description and the information needed when requesting a reclassification/PD update, equity increase or stipend.  Below, we are providing some details on these, as well as information regarding above mid-point offers and increases for lateral moves; pay increases at the time of a contract extension; and Rehired Retirees.

Recruitments
