The Annual Compensation Review Program, conducted each fall for policy-covered staff, is an optional opportunity to make salary adjustments. 

This cycle, adjustments are limited to address these specific issues:

1. Supervisor Salary Compression
2. Salary Range Placement
3. Salary Inequity Between Comparable Positions

This compensation review gives administrative leaders access to important compensation data to support informed decisions. This annual review also reduces the volume of time-consuming, ad hoc salary adjustment requests submitted to Compensation Services throughout the year.

Eligibility Criteria

• Non-represented Manager and Senior Professional Staff (MSP) and Professional and Support Staff (PSS).
  • NOT ELIGIBLE: Union-represented staff. 
• Employee must be on active pay status at time of payout to receive a salary adjustment. Employees on Leave of Absence will receive their adjustment upon return to work.
• Employee status is career or partial-year career (including employees on probationary status).
  • NOT ELIGIBLE: Contract, limited and floater positions.
