Kathy/Summer/HR people
So. I have been working in my position as a resident/trainee since Sept 09, as part of the requirements for my last year of grad school. I finally got my degree in December, and all required licenses/certifications were official the other day. I got the licensure paperwork in the mail last night, so I dropped everything off to HR this morning, as requested by my boss.
At lunch time, boss lady asked to see me in her office. She said that my title change and promotion will start being processed today. She's requested for the maximum raise she's allowed to give me (she says it could be as much as 13%, if her higher-ups approve it).
She says the school HR person has to type up the letter and other paperwork stuff, and then it has to go to the vice president for approval, and then across to the main university HR, and blah blah etc, all that bureaucracy.
Boss lady couldn't really give me a timeline on how long all of that would take. Any guesses?
Re: Kathy/Summer/HR people
Personally, I wouldn't expect something like that to take more than two weeks. And that's from my new large company experience (with VPs being in different time zones and everything), when my company was small we could get all that done in two days.
Good luck! Hope you get the max increase!
Hmmm... in my world that could take 3 weeks, because of the maximum requested, having to validate/justify that, back and forth communications, and then the administrative aspect of executing that. And then, it would be effective the first pay period AFTER that all happened, and that could mean (depending on how often you are paid) even a couple more weeks...
But, it sounds like the right first step! Just set yourself up for not being 13%, in case it doesn't happen. HR people like to negotiate down. :-)
