1. History of Rate Changes
UNC-GA and OSHR began discussions on revised LEO rates in January 2013.
GA staff, OSHR, campus HR professionals, and police chiefs were engaged in issue, utilizing surveys, an in-person meeting, and a working group comprised of OSHR, HR, and LEO subject matter experts.
By December 2013, OSHR and UNC-GA revealed proposed changes to the system.

2. History of Rate Changes (Continued)
Changes included:
Reclassifying PS Directors to PS Managers
Utilizing “metropolitan rates” instead of “triangle reference rates”
Revealing new market rates and updated specs.
The rate changes were implemented in Spring/Summer 2014.
An across-the-board 1% banded range revision was published in Fall 2014 following the annual Legislative Increase process.
