The transition of all remaining staff jobs from the Staff Position Evaluation and Compensation Program (SPEC) to the Competencies Program is nearing completion, however, the transition date has been extended. The new date for employees to transition is Nov. 1. This extension will allow more time for human resources representatives, directors of business services and management to review the employee SPEC to Competencies mapping information to ensure that each employee is transitioned into the correct job profile and level.
Regular updates regarding the transition are posted online in the following places:
- -- The "News & Events" section of the Office of Human Resources Home page at http://www.ohr.psu.edu/ online.
- -- The "Employment & Compensation News" section of both the Employment & Compensation and Competencies Program Web pages, at http://www.ohr.psu.edu/EmpAndComp and http://www.ohr.psu.edu/EmpandComp/competencies.cfm online.
- -- The Competencies Program News and Updates Wiki page at https://wikispaces.psu.edu/x/YAmEAg online.
In addition, employees may access Competencies-related resources, including links to presentations and FAQs, by visiting the Competencies Program Web page or the Penn State Competencies Program Wiki.
