As discussed, we are implementing a salary increase budget of 3.2 percent for policy-covered staff and academic appointees at all locations.  \nFor policy-covered staff employees, salary increases will be implemented as a general increase, where all eligible policy covered staff employees would receive a 3.2 percent increase to their base salary. Although this year’s salary program for policy-covered staff is not a merit program, where performance is a consideration related to the salary increase amount, the importance of the annual performance review process should not be discounted. All policy-covered staff employees should continue to receive, at least annually, a performance review per policy.  \nFor policy-covered academic appointees, the academic salary scales will be increased by a general range adjustment of 3.2 percent. The adjustment to the academic salary scales will be effective October 1, 2025, for policy-covered faculty and July 1, 2025, for other policy-covered academic appointees. The regular peer-review merit advancement process for policy-covered academic appointees will continue per academic personnel policy.  \nExcluded from this program are staff employees and academics appointees who are represented by our various unions as their wages are governed by collective bargaining unit agreements.  \nI recommend that each of you announce the details of the program specific to your respective locations. Systemwide administrative guidelines noting flexibility and best practices for implementing the 2025-26 general salary increase program are attached for policy-covered staff employees and academic appointees.  \nLet me know how I can support you and your locations as you move forward with this important program.  \nPage 2 Sincerely,  \nMichael V. Drake, MD President  \nEnclosures  \ncc: Provost and Executive Vice President Newman  \nExecutive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Nava Vice President and Chief of Staff Kao  \nDivision Leaders  \nVice President Lloyd  \nVice Provost Varsanyi  \nDeputy Provost Lee  \nAcademic Council Chair Cheung  \nExecutive Vice Chancellors/Provosts  \n2025-26 UC Systemwide Salary Program  \nAdministrative Guidelines*  \nAreas of Flexibility, Salary Program Guidance and Best Practices  \nStaff Employees*  \nGeneral salary program increase of 3.2% for policy covered staff employees:  \nFlexibility in the timing and administration of the budget along with establishing any additional program parameters or criteria that best suit your campus/local needs is permitted.  \nIf implemented at the beginning of the fiscal year, increases should be effective July 1, 2025 for monthly and June 22, 2025 for bi-weekly paid employees (June 22, 2025 is the first designated biweekly pay period for fiscal year 2025-26.)  \nThis program is designed to apply to policy covered staff career employees. Chancellors have discretion to determine eligibility for policy covered staff employees who hold limited or floater/per diem or student appointments and for employees in contract appointments, based on the provisions of the employee's contract.  \nWe recommend that you consider excluding individuals for whom the most recent performance review was unsatisfactory, particularly if that individual is being considered for termination or suspension.  \nIncreases for employees in this situation are at the discretion of the Chancellor.  \nWe recommend that in order to receive the general salary increase, employees should have at least six months of service and/or have completed their probationary period, where applicable. However, each location has the discretion to determine a cut off and/or proration dates related to eligibility.  \nAs part of your compensation communications, please take n","cbCaira6dE7yh60v","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaira6dE7yh60v","pdf",312849,"English","# 2025-26 UC Systemwide Salary Program\n## Policy-covered staff employees\n## Policy-covered academic appointees\n## Exclusions and administrative guidance\n## Areas of flexibility and implementation timing","[{\"question\":\"What salary changes are included in the 2025-26 program for policy-covered staff employees?\",\"answer\":\"Eligible policy-covered staff employees receive a general 3.2% increase to base salary.
