Salary Calculation:
1. Non-Unit and NAGE salary ranges have been increased by 2% effective July 1, 2014. If
an employees’ base salary is below the new minimum of the grade, their salary will be
increased to the new minimum before granting the salary increase.
2. If the salary increase for a Non-Unit or NAGE employee results in the employee reaching
the maximum of the salary grade, a portion or all of the increase will be in the form of a
lump sum payment.
3. The salary increase will be applied to each eligible employee’s July 1, 2014 salary.
Probationary Employee Increases:
1. Non-Exempt non- unit employees hired between January 1, 2014 and July 1, 2014 will be eligible
for an increase of up to 1% effective the first Sunday of the next full pay period following the

Appraisal with original signatures must be attached to a completed Personnel Action Form to
implement the probationary increase.
2. Employees hired after July 1, 2014 as well as all exempt employees and faculty regardless of hire
date will not be eligible for a probationary increase but will be eligible for the next salary increase
cycle.
