How can I find out how much my salary increase will be each year? Article 12 of the AAUP/UC contract establishes the minimum salary that any full-time professor or librarian of a particular rank must earn. There is no maximum salary. (This article does not apply, however, to part-time faculty or to clinical faculty in the College of Medicine.)
Article 10.1 of the AAUP/UC contract establishes the negotiated salary increase that every bargaining unit member must receive, regardless of title. Other sections of Article 10 may contain additional provisions affecting compensation (e.g., bonus pay, merit pay, promotional increase).
Who is eligible for an Article 15 salary increase? How do I file for one? Article 15 adjustments allow the UC to give additional salary increases to correct inequities, reward outstanding performance, or match outside offers. Any faculty member may request an Article 15 adjustment in writing to the academic unit head. The approval process follows the standard “chain of command” (unit head, dean, provost), but these adjustments are strictly an administrative prerogative: there are no contractually established criteria for awarding an Article 15 adjustment.
How many vacation days do I accrue each year? Faculty members who have “standard,” three-quarter appointments (Fall, Winter, and Spring quarters) do not accrue vacation days, but are on vacation during the summer and at other times when school is not in session per the official University academic calendar. Per Article 19.3 of the AAUP/UC contract, faculty members on four quarter appointments accrue vacation leave at the rate of 1-5/6 days for each month worked. Vacation time may be accrued from year to year up to a maximum of 66 days. Librarians on 10 month appointments and part-time librarians who are part of the bargaining unit accrue vacation time at a rate proportional to the formula stated above. See Article 19.3 for more details on four quarter appointments and accrual of vacation time.
