All jobs on the Berkeley Campus are classified with a title name and title code. For each title, there is a description of the position. The creation and description of job classifications is a task done at the systemwide level of the university; individual campuses do not create new job classifications. Rates of pay may vary by campus for the same classification.

History

The Assistant series (Assistant I-IV) was created in 1967 to provide generic job titles for positions held primarily by students. Most student jobs on the Berkeley campus are currently classified in the Assistant series. As a result of a campus restructuring of student wage programs, Student Assistant pay moved from a step-based to a broad open range system effective October 1, 2000.

In 1990 most student library positions were classified and paid at two levels: one for regular and one for night and weekend workleaders. In early 1991 the Student Assistant classifications were reintroduced, providing the Library with a three tier system of student jobs.

*Current and In-Place Titles and Pay Rates (through June 30, 2007):

In 2007, the Library reviewed the student library employee wage program, substantially increasing student wages while streamlining levels and simplifying procedures back to a two level system.

**Titles and Pay Rates: Announced Pay Program - 2007. Implementation Date : July 1, 2007.

For example, a student may work as a Student Assistant-Regular in a unit during regular day hours when a supervisor is present. The same student may be assigned to be in charge of a subject library in the evening with responsibilities over other student employees and the library. This worker would be paid at the Student Assistant-N/W Workleader rate. Outside of these workleader responsibilities, dual-rated students are paid at the Student Assistant-Regular rate for their primary job. The student will be dual-rated as a Student Assistant-Regular and a Student Assistant N/W workleader in the payroll database and Kronos following Kronos transfer guidelines for two different payrates.
