Human Resources Compensation

Welcome to the Human Resources Compensation homepage. You will find helpful resources detailing the compensation programs for University staff and employees in non-academic titles. The University of Oklahoma programs are designed to attract, retain, and motivate a highly talented and committed workforce in support of the University of Oklahoma’s mission and goals.

The Compensation department offers services that include the design, implementation, and revisions of the University’s compensation programs, salary structures, job analysis, position management, and compensation guidelines. Our goal is to be a strategic partner by providing assistance with compensation solutions, compensation policy and procedure interpretations, job classifications, and the performance review cycle. 

Personnel Review Cycle (PRC)

The Personnel Review Cycle (PRC) is a preliminary submission cycle for all regular staff employee job changes, salary adjustments, and new position requests. The PRC is an annual planning activity, allowing department leaders to holistically review regular staff positions and staffing needs and submit personnel requests to address departmental needs. Submissions for personnel requests will be reviewed by leadership, finance, and subject matter experts for consideration before routing to HR Compensation for evaluation and authorization to proceed with their request. After Compensation’s evaluation, initiators will be notified of the final determination of their request and authorization to proceed to the next step.

 

Details about the next Personnel Review Cycle will be posted on this webpage before February 2025, including eligibility, training opportunities, timelines, and other guidelines. If you have questions before then, please contact HrCompensation@ou.edu.
