====== Salary policy =======

>**Summary**
>//Three different scenarios are taken into account when determining the salary upon entry into service:\\ 
 
 - an employee is new to Fontys and Fontys ICT.\\ 
 - an employee is new to Fontys ICT, but already works at Fontys.\\ 
 - an employee is new to a job, but already works at Fontys ICT.\\
The scenarios are worked out on this page.//

===== New employees (external) =====

The [[https://stichtingfontys.sharepoint.com/sites/067_03/SitePages/CAO-HBO.aspx|Collective Labour Agreement for Universities of Applied Sciences]] (Cao-hbo) says:\\
>//"On commencement of employment, the employee's salary shall be determined in all reasonableness and in compliance with the accumulated experience within the salary for the job on the basis of the classification based on the job classification or within the years of commencement laid down by that scale and shall be paid monthly".// ((//CAO HBO 2022-2023//, Artikel H-1 Vaststelling salaris en structurele eindejaarsuitkering, Lid 2.  Accessed on 11 july 2023 from https://stichtingfontys.sharepoint.com/sites/067_03/SitePages/CAO-HBO.aspx))

==== Concrete method ====

  * The classification of the salary amount in the salary scale is determined on the basis of the internal standard salary (in Dutch: 'normsalaris', the overview with indicative salaries at age and job level); The internal standard salary is known to the managing director and HR;
  * As far as possible, the salary that was applicable at the former employer shall be taken into account;
  * If a labour market supplement is indicated, a proposal to this effect will be agreed with the managing director;
  * The next periodic increase shall be granted after a proper evaluation, but not before 12 months at the earliest;
  * From that moment on, the rhythm of the interview cycle is followed; this means that if there is a sufficient evaluation by 01-08 of any year, a regular periodic increase will be granted.

=== Appointment of lecturers ===
In addition to the above concrete working method, the following applies to the grading of incoming lecturers:
  * Appointment as Docent 3 in salary scale 10 applies to entrants with a completed Bachelor's and/or Master's study programme who have less than 5-7 years of relevant work experience. If the employee exceeds the job requirements after the first year, he can be rewarded with an excellent evaluation. When the maximum salary in the scale is reached, progression to the higher scale/positiion is not automatic, but depends on the job description/evaluation and the formation within the University of Applied Sciences.
  * Appointment as Docent 2 in salary scale 11 applies to entrants with a completed Bachelor's and/or Master's study programme and more than 5 to 7 years of relevant work experience.


===== New employees (from another institute or department within Fontys) =====

**An employee applies for a function that is classified in a lower salary scale:**
  * if the former salary amount fits into the salary scale for the new post and the internal standard salary, there will be a horizontal scale transfer; 
  * If the former salary is higher than the maximum of the salary scale for the new function and/or the internal standard salary, the salary is fixed at the maximum amount of the new scale. Employee no longer receives periodic increase;
  * If a satisfactory evaluation is made, a regular periodic increase will be granted per 01-08 of any year, in the event that the maximum of the salary scale has not yet been reached.

**An employee applies for a function that is classified in a higher salary scale:**

 //If the old salary amount fits in the salary scale of the new function and the internal standard salary,// 
  * there will be a horizontal scale transfer and one periodic increase will be granted;
  * a periodical increase shall be granted after a good evaluation at the earliest after 12 months;
  * From that moment on, the rhythm of the interview cycle is followed; this means that if there is a sufficient evaluation by 01-08 of any year, a regular periodic increase will be granted, in case the maximum of the salary scale has not yet been reached.

//If the old salary amount is lower than the starting salary of the new scale:// 
  * the employee shall be classified in the starting salary of the new scale, or
  * the employee continues to be classed in the old scale and receives a temporary individual salary supplement (this supplement may possibly exceed the maximum of the old scale); 
  * a periodical increase shall be granted after a good evaluation at the earliest after 12 months;
  * From that moment on, the rhythm of the interview cycle is followed; this means that if there is a sufficient evaluation by 01-08 of any year, a regular periodic increase will be granted, in case the maximum of the salary scale has not yet been reached.

===== Employees who already work at Fontys ICT but who get a different function =====

**An employee applies for a function that is classified in a lower salary scale**:
  * if the former salary amount fits into the salary scale of the new function, there will be a horizontal scale transfer;
  * If there is a sufficient evaluation, a regular periodic increase will be granted per 01-08 of any year;
  * if the former salary is higher than the maximum of the salary scale for the new post, the salary is fixed at the maximum amount of the new scale, the employee no longer receives periodic increases.

**An employee applies for a function that is classified in a higher salary scale**:

//If the old salary amount fits in the salary scale of the new function and the internal standard salary//: 
  * there will be a horizontal scale transfer and one periodic increase will be granted;
  * a periodical increase shall be granted after a good evaluation at the earliest after 12 months;
  * From that moment on, the rhythm of the interview cycle is followed; this means that if there is a sufficient evaluation by 01-08 of any year, a regular periodic increase will be granted.

//If the old salary amount is lower than the starting salary of the new scale//: 
  * the employee shall be classified in the starting salary of the new scale, or;
  * the employee continues to be classed in the old scale and receives a temporary individual salary supplement (this supplement may possibly exceed the maximum of the old scale); 
  * a periodical increase shall be granted after a good evaluation at the earliest after 12 months;
  * From that moment on, the rhythm of the interview cycle is followed; this means that if there is a sufficient evaluation by 01-08 of any year, a regular periodic increase will be granted, in case the maximum of the salary scale has not yet been reached.

===== Function weighting =====
  * the content of an employee's function has changed, as a result of which a new classification in a higher salary scale applies (on the basis of function weighting);
  * The salary is transferred horizontally to the intended scale; 
  * If there is a sufficient evaluation, a regular periodic increase will be granted per 01-08 of any year, in case the maximum of the salary scale has not yet been reached.

===== Lower functional scale =====
  * an employee is appointed, in consultation with the managing director, to a function that is classified in a lower salary scale;
  * This requires customisation. As a rule, the salary is frozen.

===== Who sets the terms and conditions of employment? =====
The basic principle is that all employment conditions interviews are conducted by HR. Within the framework described above, a proposal is prepared for the managing director. After approval of the managing director, the prospective employee is informed and given instructions to HR.
