Salary policy and salary criteria

There are a number of decided salary criteria that can vary over time. Mid Sweden University has salary criteria that apply to everyone.

The following affects the salary setting:

• Individual criteria are about how an employee performs at work and how the employee contributes to the achievement of the business's goals.
• Position-related criteria are about how much responsibility an individual has and the degree of difficulty of the work.
• Market-related criteria refer to competition in the labour market and the employee's exposure to competition, i.e. the labour market's valuation of a certain competence.

Education, age and experience of certain tasks are factors that most often affect responsibility and difficulty, as well as results and skills. In salary reviews, results and skills are valued and not education, age and experience per se.

Common pay principles

New employees with a start date from 1 June will be paid in the salary level of the upcoming audit. This means that you are not included in the audit that starts on 1 October of the same year that the employee is hired.

Employees who are on full leave at the time of the audit are not covered by the salary review. In the event of a return to work, a new salary review is carried out for those employees who have not been covered by the salary review.

Those on parental leave and those on sick leave will be offered salary discussions and salary-setting discussions. Employees are paid according to the performance they were expected to achieve if they had been working.
