  • Contingent upon meeting fall census targets, effective听1/1/2025, a 4% compensation pool for university staff, faculty, and graduate students on appointment

• Units, colleges, and schools must have an approved employee recognition program to provide pay increases or bonuses outside of regular campus processes.

• All classified staff employees with an active appointment as of 6/30/24听are eligible to receive a 3% base pay increase effective 7/1/24听unless limited by the maximum of the pay range. This increase does not apply to new hires starting 7/1/24听or later.

• 鈥淎TB鈥� is the abbreviation used for 鈥渁cross-the-board鈥�. This means the same rate (3%) applies to all eligible employees unless limited by the maximum of the pay range.

1. The 3% increase is applied to the classified employee鈥檚 base pay rate as of 6/30/24听and before any other July 1 pay changes.

2. The classified 3% ATB is base-building up to the FY24-25听pay range maximum for the employee鈥檚 job classification. Any amount over the pay range maximum is annualized and paid as a one-time lump sum in the employee鈥檚 end of July paycheck.听

3. If the employee鈥檚 salary is below the campus starting rate of $18 per hour after the 3% across-the-board increase is applied, the employee's听salary will be raised to the new campus starting rate of $18 per hour.

4. If the employee鈥檚 salary is below the FY24-25听pay range minimum for the employee鈥檚 job classification after the 3% across-the-board increase and campus starting rate adjustments are applied, the employee鈥檚 salary will be raised to the FY24-25听pay range minimum.
