Pay ranges are established based on benchmarks to survey data using the percentile of cccu schools reported in the survey. The associate director of human resources participates in and has access to a compensation survey with other christian colleges through cupa data on demand feature. The benchmark chosen is the 60th percentile of cccu schools. The president considers the previous year's performance and goal attainment in making compensation adjustments (using a similar raise matrix used for other staff employees which establishes a general raise range parameter based on performance rating and pay range penetration). He also considers the responsibilities and projects accomplished and new duties assumed in the previous year. The president informs the associate director of human resources of the appropriate changes to executive compensation.
