Extra-Meritorious Pay
(P&S Non-bargaining)
The following information is intended for reference only. P&S Extra-meritorious pay is outlined in Part III, Chapter 17: COMPENSATION of the Operations Manual
Definition
Payments beyond the base salary may be provided only on July 1st to those employees at the pay grade maximum and who have performed extra meritoriously based on the provisions listed below:
(This is separate and distinct from the non-organized P&S flexible pay program.)
- Extra-meritorious pay will not be part of the base salary and will only apply to the year for which they are granted.
- Extra-meritorious pay will not be paid through the regular payroll system and therefore will not be part of the basis on which fringe benefits are calculated.
- P&S staff members may not be paid a base salary which exceeds the maximum of the pay grade to which the staff member's position is assigned. The base salary plus the extra-meritorious bonus may exceed the maximum.
- An extra-meritorious bonus cannot exceed 10% of the base salary for the preceding year.
- The request for approval to pay an extra-meritorious bonus must be accompanied by documentation of outstanding performance or special contribution and be forwarded through normal administrative channels to the Vice President of Human Resources.
Approval
P&S extra-meritorious requests must be submitted to Compensation and Classification prior to the payment being made. If the request is approved, a “Special Compensation Payment – P&S Over Max Payment” form will need to be submitted via Self Service Workflow to complete the process.
