On May 6, UC President Drake announced a 4.5 percent across-the-board base salary increase for policy-covered (non-represented) staff for fiscal year 2023 (FY23). Although this increase is still contingent upon approval of the state budget, President Drake has recommended that we announce the increase because he does not anticipate any changes. Once the UC-wide salary program is authorized by President Drake, UCSF will work within its own budget process to approve and implement the increases. Initial details are the following:
 
Policy-covered staff employees who meet the eligibility requirements (below) will receive a 4.5% increase to base salary, effective June 26, 2022, for employees who are paid biweekly and effective July 1, 2022, for employees who are paid monthly. The paycheck date when the new rate first appears is still being determined, and HR will communicate the date once confirmed.

Eligibility requirements

• Career or UC contract appointment (50% or greater).
• Most recent UC hire date on or before Jan. 10, 2022.
  • Transfers from other University of California campuses are eligible, assuming other eligibility criteria are met and there has been no break in service.
• On active pay status as of the date that the pay increase is reflected in the paycheck (date still to-be-determined).
  • Employees on an approved leave of absence without pay will receive any retroactivity due to them upon return to pay status.
• Most recent performance evaluation is “Meets” or above.
  • This will default to the last performance rating on file. If no performance rating is on file, Human Resources will assume the employee “Meets Expectations.”
• Any updates to performance ratings must be received by June 1 to be reflected in the eligibility for the program.
• Certain title codes, such as Student Interns and codes under accretion (codes pending transition into a bargaining unit), may be excluded from the increase. Specific exclusions along with further process guidance will be issued in the coming weeks.

This will be communicated to policy-covered staff by the Office of the Chancellor.

For academic appointees, salary scales will be increased by 4% effective Oct. 1, 2022, for faculty and students and July 1 for other policy-covered academic appointees. Additional information will be sent by the Office of the Vice Provost, Academic Affairs to the academic community.

Salaries for employees who are represented by our various unions are not addressed through this program because their wages are governed by collective bargaining unit agreements.

Additional details regarding eligibility, exclusions, and administrative process guidelines will be communicated in the coming weeks.
 
For general questions about the FY23 salary program:

• Campus staff should contact their HR generalist.
• Health staff should submit any questions through PeopleConnect.
