Salary Adjustment Request
The purpose of this form is to be used for salary adjustment proposals within an employee’s current position/classification
addressing the areas of meritorious service, internal or external market equity, job growth, and/or retention. Please take
the time to complete the questionnaire as completely and accurately as possible. Thoroughness in providing the
information is essential in assuring the proper salary is established. If the proposal is supported by the respective
management team, the HR Office will review internal equity and external market factors while also reviewing applicable
ISU and State Policy. The ISU Employee Compensation Policy, ISUPP 3150 is available for review at
http://www2.isu.edu/policy/3000/index.shtml. All proposals are contingent upon the availability of funds. This form is to
be used to review salary adjustment proposals only. Requests to modify the classification of a position should be done
using the Position Description Questionnaire. If this position is grant funded, the availability of funding should be
verified with Sponsored Programs prior to submission.
