The Annual Compensation Review Program for policy-covered staff provides leaders with compensation data to support informed strategies and salary decisions in partnership with Compensation Services.
The program focuses on:
- Supervisor Salary Compression
- Salary Range Placement
- Salary Inequity Between Comparable Positions
While HR is providing compensation data for FY 2025/26, given current budget constraints, no salary adjustment pool has been established and compensation increase requests are not expected, and require appropriate leadership approvals.
Leaders should still review their data to inform future strategic planning and decision making.
Eligibility Criteria
- Non-represented Manager and Senior Professional Staff (MSP) and Professional and Support Staff (PSS).
- NOT ELIGIBLE: Union-represented staff.
