SUBJECT:

Proposed Changes to Student Wages

Consistent with the proposed range adjustment for non-exclusively
represented Staff employees, a proposal is being made to increase the
salary ranges for the student classifications of Assistant II-IV (Title
Codes 4919-4921) by 2.0%. The only exception is the minimum of the
Assistant II range, which will remain set at the state minimum wage of
$5.75/hour. This would provide the following ranges:

  4922 Assistant I no longer in use
  4921 Assistant II $5.75 - $8.16/hour
  4920 Assistant III $6.63 - $10.71/hour
  4919 Assistant IV $9.18 - $18.87/hour

These classifications have "By-Agreement" rates, therefore, individuals
do not receive an automatic rate increase unless an increase is required
to bring their rate up to the minimum of the range established for the
class. The rate paid to individuals in these classes may be adjusted
within the range at the discretion of the department, upon completion
of the required twelve months on pay status. The increase may be any
amount up to 4%.

The proposed effective date for the above-mentioned range adjustment is
October 1, 1998. Students or other interested parties who would like to
comment on the proposed changes may do so by submitting written or
electronic mail comments by November 12, 1998 to:

Phyllis Walker, Assistant Director Career Services
Job Opportunities Program, Mail Code 0335
mailto:pfwalker@ucsd.edu

OR

Judy Johnson, Compensation Manager
Human Resources, Mail Code 0922
mailto:jjohnson@ucsd.edu

Student employees should be made aware of this announcement. The
comments received during this consultation period will be carefully
considered prior to final decisions being made.
