Career Roadmap employee review process begins in March

Beginning March 8, 2022, more than 26,000 Ohio State staff will have the opportunity to review how their position will be mapped to the new Career Roadmap framework.

Career Roadmap is a modern compensation and job classification model developed by Ohio State to provide transparent career paths and pay ranges for staff. When implemented in fall 2022, Career Roadmap will help to consistently guide how Ohio State hires, compensates and retains staff.

The employee review period is the next important step toward finalizing and implementing this multi-year initiative. All staff who are in scope for Career Roadmap will receive a DocuSign notification on March 8 showing how their position has been mapped with an opportunity to agree or provide new information to suggest a change.

Staff are encouraged to register for the training on February 22 or 24, which will focus on their role in the employee review process.

Select and register for one of the following sessions:

For those interested to review previous trainings, recordings and PowerPoint slides are available on the Career Roadmap website.

Additional resources include:

  • Online job catalog – Includes all Career Roadmap titles for staff.
  • Career band and level guide – Describes the career framework and helps determine career band and level for jobs across the institution.
  • Pay ranges article (KBA) – Explains pay ranges and geographic differences with links to two Excel files, one with regular Career Roadmap pay ranges and one with geographic differences.
  • Employee Review web page – Describes the review process and includes the overall timeline, a detailed master calendar, a link to the sample position review form and other tools.

Career Roadmap FAQs continue to be updated to include responses to the most common questions and topics of interest.
