Human Resources makes and/or approves the official job offer to applicants selected for employment at UAB/UAB Medicine. Selection decisions, salary determination, and starting dates are established by Human Resources in consultation with the hiring manager.  Starting rates are based on salary guidelines and take into consideration total relevant experience (UAB/UAB Medicine and outside experience), grade minimum, internal equity, pay lines, salary guides, and incumbent salary data for a specific classification.

Positions are classified based on duties inherent in the position, not based on pay requirements. If the position is determined to be classified correctly and an exception is warranted, departments should process an exception request through appropriate administrative channels.
