2022-2023 Salary Increase Program

What is a Post-Promotion Increase?

The Post-Promotion Increase is a program for those senior faculty members (Full professors and Lecturer D faculty and equivalent librarian, counselor, and coaching faculty ranks) who have exhausted all their SSI eligibility. 

Who will receive a Post-Promotion Increase?

Post-Promotion Increases will be awarded to senior faculty members who are Full Professors, Lecturer D faculty, or equivalent librarian, counselor, and coaching faculty at senior ranks prior to the beginning of the 2022-2023 academic year, and who have exhausted their SSI eligibility in their current rank.

Participants in the Faculty Early Retirement Program (FERPs) and rehired annuitants are not eligible for PPIs.

What is a Service Salary Increase?

A Service Salary Increase is upward movement on the salary schedule, awarded to faculty members who have been determined to be eligible based on qualifying service, satisfactory performance, and additional criteria described below.

Who will receive a Service Salary Increase (SSI)?

SSIs will be awarded to eligible faculty unit employees upon determination by the appropriate administrator that the faculty unit employee has performed in a satisfactory manner.

Tenured and Probationary Faculty:

Those eligible employees below the SSI maximum (after adjustments for FMIs, if any) in fiscal year 2021/2022, will receive the SSI effective on the first day of the pay period of the employee’s anniversary date. The anniversary date is based on the date of hire into that classification. 

Temporary Faculty:

Lecturers who completed 24 units in a range on a semester campus since the last SSI in the same department or equivalent unit are eligible to receive an SSI in fiscal year 2021/2022. For temporary faculty unit employees with appointments in more than one department or equivalent unit must be reviewed for SSI eligibility independently in each department.

Who is eligible for the One-Time Payment of $3,500?

Faculty unit members who worked in the 2020-2021 academic year (AY) and who were in active pay status on February 3, 2022, the CFA contract ratification date.

Who is not eligible for the one-time payment of $3,500?

Faculty unit employees who were not in active pay status (or on leave) as of the date of ratification of this agreement (February 3, 2022).

Faculty unit employees who are participating in Faculty Early Retirement Program (FERP) or are an active rehired annuitant as of the ratification of this agreement.

When will the one-time payment be issued?

Payments will begin to issue as early as April 19, 2022.

How will the one-time payment be issued?

Hard copies will be distributed to employees. Employees enrolled in the Direct Deposit Program will receive the payment via direct deposit.

When will payments be processed for eligible, faculty unit employees on unpaid leave status as of February 3, 2022?

Campuses are responsible for manually processing these payments when the employee returns from leave.

A maximum has been established in each salary range. Except in cases where the faculty member has received one or more Faculty Merit Increase (FMI) awards, an SSI award may not increase the faculty member’s salary beyond the SSI maximum rate. An employee who is otherwise eligible for SSI whose salary is below the SSI maximum rate by less than the amount of the SSI will receive an increase only up to the SSI maximum rate.
