Pay Action Process

The Pay Action Team and Process

The Pay Action Team is comprised of members from Human Resources Support Services and Business and Financial Services who review the personnel and financial aspects of various pay action requests as well as secure the required senior management approvals for:

  • New Positions
  • Job Postings
  • Reclassifications
  • Salary Adjustments

The Pay Action review process is based on The SVP CFO Delegation Memorandum, The University of Texas at Austin Compensation Philosophy, Pay Plan and Job Codes and Salary Adjustment policy as recommended by Human Resources Strategic Workforce Solutions.

All New Position, Job Posting, Reclassification, and Salary Adjustment requests should be submitted using the HRSS Service Portal and each request has a DocuSign Pay Action component, which should be submitted by the requesting department. When utilizing the HR Pay Action Form in DocuSign, sign in with your full name and EID email;(example: abc123@eid.utexas.edu) and enter the access code. If you have questions, or if you’ve forgotten the access code, please call HRSS at 512-471-5466 or email us at hrss@austin.utexas.edu.
