UC Office of the President is implementing a salary increase budget of 4.2 percent for policy-covered staff and academic appointees at all locations. Please note, this salary program is contingent on the outcome of the State budget allocation. In the event the current budget expectations are significantly altered, UC Office of the President will provide an updated announcement at that time. Excluded from this program are staff employees and academics appointees who are represented by our various unions as their wages are governed by collective bargaining unit agreements.
Overview of the 2024-25 Program
-
The overall salary scales for policy-covered academic appointees will be raised by 4.2% and will include modest smoothing to the scales to continue consistent increments between steps.
-
The annual academic merit review process to determine reappointments, as well as adjustments in rank and step will continue.
-
There will be no increases off-scale salaries. Above-scale salaries will be increased by the same amount as the on-scale increase for Professor Step IX.
-
In line with established processes, for Senate Faculty the adjustment to the academic salary scales will be effective October 1, 2024, and July 1, 2024, for other policy-covered academic appointees.
Other non-represented academic appointees
-
The scales for policy covered non-faculty academic appointees (which includes policy-covered librarians and academic researchers) will be increased by a general range adjustment of 4.2% on July 1, 2024 for monthly paid or July 7, 2024 (the first pay period commencing after July 1, 2024) for biweekly paid academic appointees (the precise amount will vary due to rounding). Scales with ranges will be increased in a similar fashion.
