Recognizing UC ANR employees for their continued commitment to our mission

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. This is just one of the important ways we recognize the extraordinary efforts by our employees to deliver our mission, despite the challenges we continue to face. Further information about the payout dates and eligibility will be communicated by Human Resources in the near future.

In addition, the academic salary scales will be increased by a general range adjustment of 4 percent. The adjustment to the academic salary scales will be effective July 1, 2022, for UC ANR policy-covered academic appointees and June 26, 2022, for bi-weekly paid employees. 

Those academics who are successful in merit and promotion reviews during the current cycle will advance effective July 1, 2022. No decisions have been made regarding any academic equity adjustments. 

Please note, these salary programs are contingent upon the 5 percent allocation currently in the State budget and is subject to change. While we do not anticipate a change, in the event the current budget expectations are altered, the announcement will be shared from UC President Drake. Union-represented academic and staff employees pay programs are governed by collective bargaining unit agreements. 

People are our greatest asset; without you, we cannot achieve our research and extension mission. I want to take this opportunity to thank you all for your hard work and dedication.

Sincerely,

Glenda Humiston
Vice President

 

General salary increase planned to begin July 1

We are pleased to let you know that in accordance with President Drake's recent decision, UC ANR is implementing a 3 percent salary increase program for policy-covered staff and academics at all locations. It is critical that we recognize the extraordinary efforts by our employees, including our policy-covered employees, during the past year and to recognize the challenging period ahead.

The academic salary scales will be increased by a general range adjustment of 3 percent for policy-covered academic appointees. The adjustment to the academic salary scales will be effective July 1, 2021, for UC ANR policy-covered academic appointees. Those academics who are successful in merit and promotion reviews during the current cycle will advance effective July 1, 2021. No decisions have been made regarding any equity adjustments. Any decision to make equity adjustments will be communicated late summer.

All eligible policy covered staff employees would receive a 3 percent increase to their base salary, effective July 1, 2021. The general increases will be effective July 1, 2021, for monthly and June 27, 2021, for bi-weekly paid employees. 

Further information about the payout dates and eligibility will be communicated by HR in the near future.

People are our greatest asset; without you, we cannot achieve our research and extension mission. I want to take this opportunity to thank you all for your hard work and dedication.

Sincerely,

Staff and academic salary programs for 2019-20

Dear Colleagues,

My ANR Budget Update 2019-20 provided an overview of our budget challenges and described actions we have taken or may take in response to shrinking financial support from the state. Despite these budget pressures, providing market competitive compensation for staff and academics remains a top investment priority for UC ANR. People are our greatest asset; without quality people, we cannot achieve our research and extension mission.

I am happy to announce details of the annual salary programs for academics and staff for FY 2019-20.

Academic Salary Program  

For ANR academic appointees, salary scales will increase by a general range adjustment of three percent, effective July 1, 2019. These increases apply to all non-represented academic titles at ANR.  This is in addition to the merit and promotion actions for those scheduled to receive increases on July 1.

In recent years, ANR has added equity increases to the CE Advisor Series base salaries to create a UC ANR Adjusted Salary Scale. For 2019-20, the three percent general range adjustment will apply to the UC ANR Adjusted Salary Scale.

Academic HR will send individual noticse to academics regarding the increases, and the updated salary scales will be posted on the Academic HR website.

Staff Salary Program  

For policy-covered (non-represented) staff employees, ANR is implementing a merit-based salary increase program. The merit increases will be effective June 30, 2019, for bi-weekly paid employees, and July 1, 2019, for both monthly paid employees.

As in prior years, the salary increases under this program will be merit-based and linked directly to the individual's performance and contribution.

UC ANR Human Resources will provide detailed information about the staff salary increases to Directors, with instructions to share information with supervisors and staff.  

Salary programs for exclusively-represented staff are defined in the UC-wide collective bargaining agreements.

Market Equity Programs

In addition to the annual salary programs, over the last three years UC ANR has implemented multi-year strategies to improve the competitiveness of salaries for CE advisors and non-represented staff.

Each of these programs represents a significant financial investment for the division, and we are committed to continuing those programs despite receiving no increase in funding from the Office of the President for the coming fiscal year.

Impacts

I am pleased to offer salary increases this year. While we remain in a difficult budget situation, it is important that we invest in and reward our people appropriately for their commitment and efforts. Salary increases during a flat budget year do impact the availability of funds for program purposes. I expect we will need to make more difficult decisions regarding the levels of support provided to units and academics across UC ANR. As we work through our budget, we will share more regarding how we plan to address these impacts.

Please plan to join me for the next virtual town hall on Thursday, Aug. 15, 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. During this Zoom webinar, I will provide an update with as much information as is known at that time, and you will have an opportunity to ask questions.

Thank you all for the great work you do.

Glenda Humiston
Vice President
