Expand All
All regular staff (excludes temporary staff, faculty, and union staff) that were hired on or before April 1, 2024 and are actively employed on July 1, 2024. Eligibility excludes employees in Bargaining Units and those currently on Performance Improvement Plans (PIP). Employees whose pay is funded from non-university sources (grants, gifts, or endowment funds) will receive increases as funding permits based on the above guidelines. Staff who are currently on a PIP are not eligible for a salary increase. For staff who are on PIP, please contact your HR Business Partner for guidance.
Part-time staff are considered regular staff if they are not temporary employees. They are eligible for salary increases as long as they are not temporary or union staff, not on a PIP, and were hired on April 1, 2024 or before.
Any employee hired on or before April 1, 2024 is eligible for a salary increase if they meet the eligibility criteria above. It doesn't matter that they changed jobs or received a promotion after April 1.
The purpose of a PIP, or Performance Improvement Plan, generally means that you are working with your manager to bring your work performance up to a 'Successful' standard that you have both agreed on. Should an employee successfully complete a PIP, they will be eligible for an increase prospectively after the PIP has been completed. Please discuss any questions with your HR Business Partner.
Annual salary increases will be processed in Workday now for staff employees on leaves of absence who meet the above eligibility criteria. Employees on a leave of absence are in the Workday compensation planning tool.
