President Napolitano approves continuation of merit pay program for non-represented staff
July 24, 2018 •
President Napolitano has announced approval of systemwide merit increases for non-represented staff for fiscal year 2018-2019, with an overall budget of 3 percent for possible pay increases if performance criteria are met.
The merit pay program applies to non-represented staff in career or partial-year career appointments who meet performance criteria; it excludes student employees and anyone covered by Academic Personnel policies. Among the criteria, employees with a 2017 annual performance rating of “development needed/new and learning (tracking up)” or higher are eligible for a possible merit increase.
Your supervisor or manager will inform you about decisions on merit increases by Sept. 18. If you receive a merit increase, it will appear in your Sept. 19 biweekly paycheck or Oct. 1 monthly paycheck.
This increase is part of President’s Napolitano’s goal to implement regular, systemwide pay increases when possible to recognize the contributions of staff.
Wages for union-represented employees are governed by labor contracts and are not affected by this program.
Dear President Napolitano,
Thank you for approving the system wide merit increase this year and supporting your UC unrepresented staff.
