Compensation Structure
View2022 organizes jobs into Job Families, Sub-Families, Career Tracks, and Career Levels.
Compensation Structure
The foundations for the University of Mississippi compensation structure has been developed. The University of Mississippi will organize work (roles) by:
Job Families > Job Sub Families > Career Tracks > Career Levels.
Below you will see an overview of the new structure, as well as details on each section. Definitions for all relevant compensation terms such as a Job Family, Sub Family, Career Tracks and Career Levels can be found on our Terms and Concepts webpage. It is important to note that until implementation takes place, minor changes and edits will take place to our structure. As changes take place we will update our web pages accordingly.
Compensation Overall Structure
When we combine all variables of our compensation structure together (Family, Subfamily, Career Track, Career Level) we see how similar work starts to be organized at our university. We are able to more consistently place roles within the structure by taking this approach.
Click the button below to view an example of how a role (Sr. Accountant) would fall into the overall structure. This role would be viewed as a professional Level 3 role within the Finance Job Family > Accounting Sub Family.
Job Families and Sub Families at the University of Mississippi
Job Families and Sub Families are overall groupings (and sub-groupings) of jobs where work performed is of similar nature. It is important to note, Job Families and Sub Families are based on similar work, not based on org structure. Many departments will have roles from multiple Job Families and Sub Families.
Please see list of Families below and access each drop down list for the corresponding Sub-Families.
