May 7, 2024 •
Interim Chief Human Resources Officer Patricia L. Hardaway, J.D., sent the following message to all UCOP staff on Thursday, May 2, 2024:
Dear UCOP colleagues,
I am pleased to tell you that President Drake has approved, contingent on final state funding, the 2024-25 systemwide salary program which includes a 4.2% salary increase for policy-covered staff and academic appointees at all locations. Please note that these salary increases are contingent on the outcome of the state budget allocation, which has not yet been finalized, and is subject to change. In the event current budget expectations change, we will provide updated information.
This salary program recognizes the extraordinary efforts of employees during this past year, and will take effect on July 1, 2024, for employees who are paid monthly and June 23 for those who are paid bi-weekly. Policy-covered academic appointees will also receive increases, and the regular peer-review merit advancement process for policy-covered academic appointees will continue per academic personnel policy. Salary increases for union-represented employees and academic appointees are governed by the relevant collective bargaining agreements.
In order to be eligible, you must have received a performance rating of “solid performance” or higher or “new and learning” (tracking up) on your 2023-2024 performance review, completed required training on or before June 30, and your start date must have been on or before January 2, 2024
UCOP division leaders and managers will receive additional implementation details about the 2024-25 salary program from UCOP Human Resources.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact your department’s Human Resources business partner.
As always, thank you very much for your many contributions and dedication to UC and the people we serve.
Sincerely,
Patricia L. Hardaway, J.D.
Chief Human Resources Officer (Interim)
UCOP Human Resources
