BWH has implemented a merit-based zero-to-5-percent (funded at 3 percent) FY 03 wage and salary program for weekly employees not covered by a collective bargaining agreement. For those employees at or over their salary range maximum, a zero-to-4-percent (funded at 3 percent) lump-sum bonus program has been approved.
Based upon a review of the market, salary range maximums will be increased by 4 percent. In addition, weekly, non-contractual employees who are on the BWH payroll as of the end of FY 02 and when the check is processed in November will be eligible for a 1 percent lump-sum bonus that will be based on select regular FY 02 earnings. This check will be distributed with the November 21 paychecks.
“We have worked diligently inside the organization to anticipate, react to and address external issues that have and will continue to affect the job market,” said Cheryl Locke, vice president, Human Resources, who explains that two such courses of action taken in FY 02 include implementing a new wage floor and conducting market adjustments to specific job categories throughout the institution.
