RE: 2016-17 Thresholds for Faculty Salaries
Dear Colleagues:
The new 2016-17 thresholds for campus approval of faculty salaries are in effect as of September 1, 2016. The Indexed Compensation Level (ICL) has been raised to $304,000 for 2016-17. Accordingly, the new thresholds for faculty salaries that require approval by the UC Provost and Executive Vice President – Academic Affairs (UC Provost) have been adjusted as follows:
Faculty Ladder Ranks Scale Threshold
Faculty Ladder Ranks Scale – Academic Year $304,000
Faculty Ladder Ranks Scale – Fiscal Year $352,700
Faculty Ladder Ranks Scale – Bus/Engr/Econ – Academic Year $333,300
Faculty Ladder Ranks Scale – Bus/Engr/Econ – Fiscal Year $386,700
Above-threshold faculty salaries that result from new faculty appointments, retention actions, and faculty merit increases greater than 10 percent require approval by the UC Provost. The Chancellor has authority to approve salaries above the thresholds in cases involving faculty merit increases of 10 percent or less.
Furthermore, faculty who hold administrative appointments in addition to their faculty appointment (department chairs, associate deans, directors, etc.) and whose annual salary plus administrative compensation exceeds $304,000 require approval by the UC Provost. Please see the Guidelines for Above-Threshold Salary Approval for further information.
Requests for approval of salaries that exceed the thresholds must be processed through the Academic Personnel Office. If you anticipate any actions that may require the UC Provost’s approval, please contact the Academic Personnel Office to discuss them as early as possible.
Questions may be directed to Cecilia De La Garza at cdelagar@ucsc.edu or 9-3891.
Sincerely,
Pamela G. Peterson
Associate Vice Chancellor
