Common use of Compensation Pay Clause in Contracts

Compensation Pay. A. The minimum salary level for employees covered by this Agreement shall be no less than the campus minimum salary level for non-represented academic professional employees established by the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (or other appropriate administrator for the Urbana campus). Any increases to the campus minimum would be applied as outlined in section “C.” of this article. The minimum salary level will be reduced, based on standard University policies and formula, when necessary to convert pay from a 12 month service basis to an academic year (9 month) or 10-month service basis or for pro-rata reduction for less than full-time equivalency status. B. Nothing in this Agreement precludes an appointing unit, in its discretion, from establishing a starting salary above the campus minimum, recognizing that pay for bargaining unit employees may vary between units, positions and employees. The established starting salary, as determined by the appointing unit, shall not be grievable. C. During the term of this collective bargaining agreement, the following compensation/pay provisions shall apply: During each year of this Agreement and consistent with the University of Illinois at Urbana – Campus General Personnel Salary Program, bargaining unit employees who are employed as of August 15 of the relevant year shall be eligible for a wage increase on their individual appointment renewal date that is subject to the increment set forth in the campus general personnel salary program for non-represented academic professional employees announced by the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Office (or other appropriate administrator for the Urbana campus) in the relevant contract year if a campus general personnel salary program is offered. For those years, individual bargaining unit employees may receive a wage increase that is less than, equivalent to, or greater than, the increment set forth in the campus general personnel program for Academic Professional employees based upon the department’s or unit’s evaluation of that individual’s performance, provided that any increase granted by the department or unit conforms with any guidelines established by the University for that campus general personnel salary program. Because any determination as to any wage increase is at the department’s or unit’s sole discretion, such determination shall not be grievable. In contract years when the increment set forth in the campus general personnel salary program for non-represented academic professional employees is zero percent (0.0%), appointing units may not implement any pay adjustments. In no event shall a bargaining unit employee’s salary during any year of this Agreement be less than the minimum salary level set forth above, nor shall an employee be eligible or receive more than one wage increase in any given year of this Agreement as set forth in this article. Nothing herein shall prohibit the Employer from increasing an employee’s salary as a result of changes made associated with the Fair Labor Standards Act.
