Change Requests

To better manage change requests for staff throughout the college, CEAS HR asks supervisors and/or human resources liaisons (HRLs) to formally request changes through their unit's assigned .

Change Requests should be initiated by a supervisor or HRL on behalf of a staff employee within the College of Engineering & Applied Science. All changes discussed and approved during the annual Operational Planning process should take precedence including but not limited to: promotions, compensation adjustments, supervisor or team transfers, level adjustments, title changes, and job description changes. Any additional requests outside of the annual Operational Planning process will require the dean’s approval on a case-by-case basis. Changes can be requested as exceptions for the following scenarios:

  • Request for an out-of-cycle staff promotion due to unplanned organizational changes or team restructuring
  • Requests to adjust salary for an immediate equity need without a corresponding level change.
  • Request for a new staff position (i.e. new headcount) whose need was not foreseen at the time of Operational Planning
  • Requesting to backfill a vacant staff position previously agreed to not be backfilled during the prior Operational Planning cycle, because of imminent needs
  • Request to move staff member(s) to a new supervisor.
  • Request for a job description review/change due to circumstances not foreseen in the last Operational Planning cycle
  • Request for a title review/change due to circumstances not foreseen in the last Operational Planning cycle
  • Request for Temporary Additional Pay for an employee covering additional responsibilities.

Change Requests are not a means to circumvent the Operational Planning process. For an overview of the Operational Planning process and descriptions of the type of staff changes determined during the process, please go to the .
