Classification and Compensation works to maintain the integrity of the State of North Carolina’s Subject to the State Human Resources Act (SHRA) career banding program and Senior Administrative Academic Officers (SAAO) and Exempt Professional Staff (EPS) designations, as well as the Department of Labor’s prescribed Fair Labor Standards Act regulations. The goal is to establish and maintain fair and equitable classification for the University’s workforce. As a department, we serve as an advocate for the University in its interactions as principal liaison to the NC Office of State Human Resources (OSHR) and the UNC System Office (UNC-SO).
EHRA employees are Exempt from the North Carolina Human Resources Act. EHRA positions are classified into one of three categories established by the UNC Board of Governors:
Senior Academic and Administrative Officers (SAAO)
SHRA employees are Subject to the North Carolina Human Resources Act. SHRA positions are classified into career-banded classifications based on competencies required for the position and demonstrated by the employee. Career-banded classifications and their associated salary ranges are determined by the Office of State Human Resources (OSHR).
