Salary Increase Plan Guidelines for PPSM Policy-Covered Staff (FY 2013-14)

The following guidelines are designed to assist departments in implementing the FY 2013-2014 salary plan for PPSM Policy-Covered (Non-Represented) staff.

1. Eligibility

Consistent with the Regents’ and President’s decisions for FY 2013-2014, policy-covered staff are eligible for increases of 3%, effective July 1, 2013 (or July 7 for bi-weekly paid employees) except as noted below. 

The Chancellor has authorized eligibility for all employees including those who have received base-salary adjustments (such as equity increases or promotions) within the last 12 months, unless any of the following exclusions apply.

Exclusions:

  • Top-level Senior Management Group (SMG) members, including the president, chancellors, executive and senior vice presidents and other senior managers who report directly to the president; medical center chief executive officers; direct reports to the Regents; certain other senior managers; and athletic coaches/directors whose salaries are covered by multi-year contracts.
  • For Level 2 SMG positions, resulting compensation must be below the 75th percentile of the applicable Market Reference Zone (MRZ). A Level 2 SMG incumbent whose salary is at or above 75th percentile is ineligible for a salary increase under this plan.
  • Individuals whose performance review was unsatisfactory or “Does Not Meet Expectations” may be excluded from this plan based on appropriate documentation by the department, including the most recent performance evaluation.
  • Exclusively represented, bargaining-unit employees whose salaries are determined in accordance with applicable collective bargaining agreements are not eligible.

  • Transactions for individuals whose total cash compensation is above $250,000 must be reported to Campus Human Resources for inclusion in the biannual transactions report.
  • One-over-one approval of actions is required; for example, an increase for a supervisor’s direct report must also be endorsed at the next management level. 
  • This plan is made pursuant to Salary Policy PPSM 30, which stipulates that an employee’s total salary increase during FY 2013-2014 may not exceed 25% of base salary.
