A process model providing employees of community colleges in Florida with a formal means to participate in the determination of their salaries and fringe benefits was developed. Systems analysis was used to establish the requirements for a new compensation system at Florida Junior College at Jacksonville, and the Process model was synthesized from the system requirements. The methodology involved the collection and evaluation of information from the literature, the perceptions of employees, a listing of constraints and studies of: the compensation system in use at Florida Junior College at Jacksonville; the budget process and the pay plans of other organizations. Problems with the compensation system in use were formalized in problem definition statements as a preliminary step to specifying new system requirements. Annual changes, major changes and compensation process changes were addressed in the model which specifies actions to be taken and information flow. A system flowchart was included. A focal point of the new process is the College Compensation Committee, which receives budget information, prepares compensation recommendations guidelines for employee recommending bodies (Faculty Senate, Career Employees' Council, Administrators' Ad Hoc Compensation Committee), receives recommendations from those bodies, develops pay plan specifications, recommends a pay plan to the President, and makes other recommendations for further study of major changes to the pay plan or the compensation process itself. The new system has been implemented at Florida Junior College at Jacksonville, and acceptance, in principle, of the model from five selected community colleges in Florida was obtained. It was concluded that the model may be acceptable to the non-unionized colleges in Florida. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 42-06, Section: A, page: 2458. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1981.
