On occasion, JMU may require the reassignment of classified employee(s) because of reorganization or a change in business needs within a particular division, department or work unit. Reassignment within the pay band is a management-initiated action that can be used for this purpose. Under Reassignment within the Pay Band:

• Employees may be reassigned to different positions within the same assigned salary range (A salary range may be the Pay Band; a Sub-Band or a hiring range, as determined by JMU).
• The position to which an employee is reassigned may be in the same or a different role within the same salary range.
• The employee's base salary is not changed as a result of the reassignment.

To initiate a reassignment, the supervisor must:

• Consult with an HR consultant to determine classification and position changes.
• Submit changes to the position description.

If required, submit a PAR form to HR with the appropriate vice president’s signature.

Sub-Band

On occasion, based on agency need, sub-bands may be established for positions for the purpose of recruitment and retention or compensation administration. Sub-bands are a portion of an existing pay band that has a defined minimum and maximum salary within the pay band. Sub-bands are established in collaboration with HR consultants who research, recommend and communicate findings with DHRM.
