Salary Increases

Employees who follow my blog will be the first to know!

Last week you received an e-mail from President Joe DiPietro regarding the 2 percent across-the-board salary increase for UT employees and this week the UT Board of Trustees approved the budget. Each campus and institute has developed a compensation plan that suits the particular entity.

After several years without increases, I’m extremely pleased to announce our plan for 2011- 2012. We will be giving three types of salary increases – across-the-board, market/equity adjustments and merit adjustments.

• The 2% across-the-board increase is for everyone who had satisfactory performance last year (at least a 3.0 out of 5.0 on the last annual performance review). The minimum increase will be $1,000; this will be pro-rated for part-time employees. This increase will appear in employees’ July paychecks.

• The market/equity adjustments are for staff members who are not at their target salary and who scored at least a 3.0 on the APR. These adjustments will appear in the August paychecks.

• The merit increase is available only to employees who scored greater than 3.0 on the annual performance review. These employees will see one of three tiers of increases based on their APR rating.

Agency directors will begin communicating increase information soon and every employee will receive a letter with the new annual salary.

Thanks for your continued outstanding work!
