Guidelines for Annual Salary Increases

For employees not represented by a union

Managers should consider the following when making individual salary decisions:

• University salary policy for the fiscal year
• Overall performance level of the employee relative to job expectations and experience throughout the past fiscal year
• Position of employee’s current salary within the salary range for the job’s family and classification level
• Employees with satisfactory performance who meet minimum job-related qualifications should receive at least the minimum of the associated salary range
• Higher than average increases to recognize Professional Staff whose performance consistently exceeded expectations for their job and lower increases for staff whose skills are developing and/or whose performance did not meet expectations 
• Equity adjustment, if appropriate, to align an employee’s salary with comparable internal or external positions with a similar scope of responsibilities and duties
• Fiscal resources of the unit
