Directions

1.  Complete one (1) Staff Market Salary Review Request Form  per position/job title.  (For example, if you would like Compensation to review the Staff Assistant and Accounting Assistant I jobs in your area, you will need to submit 2 forms.)

2.  Review and update the job description for each position/job title. To expedite this process, you may use the abbreviated version of the traditional Job Description form: Job Description Summary.

3.  Submit the Staff Market Salary Review Request Form and updated job description to Angela Lipari, Sr. Compensation Analyst, via email (alipari@rice.edu).

Please Note: All requests should be routed through the appropriate approval channels for your area prior to submission to HR.   Compensation will only accept requests submitted by a department, school, or division leader with the authority to request salary changes for staff members.
