NU officers plan timing of worker pay hike decision
By Gordon Johnson
The NU Board of Regents may hear a
request at its next meeting to implement;
by April 1, a study to raise wage standards
for some NU employees, NU official! say.
NU President Ronald Roskens said
Thursday he will be meeting with NU chan
cellors and vice presidents on March 20 to
decide whether or not the university is
ready to take the proposal before the
board.
The object of the study made by Robert
H. Hayes and Associates, Inc. was to set up
a classification system for C-line employ
ees, which differs from the state classifi
cation system, said William Jones, director
of personnel services.
C4ine employees, Jones said, Art those
persons engaged in "Non-professional" job
areas. Included in the C-line classification
would be jobs such as typists, receptionists,
maintenance, food service, and law en
forcement. It was decided that a new classification
method was needed after a state Surpeme
Court case which decided that the regents
should control the university's employees,
Jones said.
The study classified approximately
4,000 C4ine employees into 59 new job
classifications, Jones said. Reclassifying a
job means that it is given a new title and

broken down even further so an employee
can make a low wage in his pay grade or
the maximum amount, he said.
The study showed that 37.2 percent of
the C-lir.e employees are paid at below
minimum, when compared to private in
dustry employees. Only 4.1 percent made
more than the maximum amount as com
pared to private and state employees.
Bringing the pay of about 1,500 C-line
employees wages to minimum levels as
established in the study would cost the uni
versity $1,069393 a year.
Determining pay grades for employees
according to time and merit would cost the
university an additional $413,554 a year.

"Quite frankly, we are going to have

study's recommendations," Jones said.
Jones said he hopes the program will be
implemented at the March 24 regents meet

it until July. Teacher Placement Inter-
