In acknowledgement of Berkeley’s hard working staff and your response to our major campus initiatives, as well as the rising cost of health care and UC Retirement Plan (UCRP) contributions, the Chancellor has approved a three percent salary increase for non-represented staff, effective Tuesday, July 1, 2014. Your managers will receive additional details this week regarding eligibility criteria, funding and the implementation process.
The salary increase will be awarded to eligible career employees and on a case-by-case basis to contract employees. To be eligible, staff covered by Personnel Policies for Staff Members (PPSM) must be:
- Career or contract appointments
- Performing at a level that meets expectations
- On payroll in an eligible position and appointment on the date that the pay increase is paid
Excluded from eligibility are:
- Employees hired on or after January 1, 2014
- Employees whose resulting salary would be above the new salary range maximum
- Employees who separate from employment on or before payout date
- Student employees and limited appointments
- Employees covered by collective bargaining agreements and academic personnel policies
- Rehired retirees who have not suspended their UCRP retirement contributions
