We are pleased to let you know that the UC system, including UC ANR, is implementing a 4.5 percent salary increase program for all eligible policy-covered staff and academics, effective July 1, 2022.

As we have returned to mostly normal operations and public health guidance has evolved, we continually assess ANR's COVID-19 prevention protocols to keep aligned with current standards and risks. With that in mind, we are now able to end use of the daily Clearance to Work Survey, and transition to a COVID-19 Screening Report, in which ANR employees will only need to complete the survey when they have information that needs to be reported.

On most days, if you have nothing to report in these areas, you will not need to fill out any survey. This change will be effective May 16, 2022.

Dear Colleagues:
Attracting and retaining highly qualified employees is a top priority for UC ANR. It's a critical part of our strategic plan and key to our ability to deliver the mission. It's been four years since we began our last Market Equity Adjustment Plan, which was completed this past year; in that time the labor market has continued to change due to factors like the COVID-19 pandemic, inflation and systemic shifts in many labor markets. Those factors have increased pressures on household budgets for many of our employees; because of that UC ANR has recently conducted an updated analysis of market rates for our staff positions. I'm pleased to report today that, as part of UC ANR's overall compensation...
