Only departmental salaries and expenses are requested at this time. The expense resource allocation is established for each Executive Vice-President, by Financial Planning based upon the budgetary assumptions approved by the Board. Human Resources recommended continuation of the general and merit increase model for distributing salary increases. As in past years, faculty salary increases are based on performance, as recommended by each Dean. The overall salary compensation increase pool is guidance, not entitlement.
Specific percentages are available in the salary planning web application.
Human Resources has already established a performance appraisal deadline of April 14th for the university. Funding is not allotted for salary increases on full-time vacant staff positions nor on unassigned staff base dollars. Any funded new positions require a job description and Human Resources approval. As in past years, the capability of performing salary planning in a web application that is linked to the budget planning web application continues. The salary planning input screen allows for the capability of entering either a merit percent increase or a fixed dollar amount for merit.
