Listen to the Regents Working Group on UCOP Salary Ranges (1-17-2019)

As it turns out, the Regents tacked on a meeting of the Working Group on UCOP Salary Ranges after their Jan. 17 full board meeting. The Working Group is one of the responses to the state audit and its criticism of overly-wide salary ranges at UCOP. So, not surprisingly, one recommendation is to narrow the ranges.

However, according to a report prepared for the Working Group, UCOP is tending to fall behind Bay Area salaries for such occupations as IT professionals and technical types, accountants, and others. This situation is attributed at the meeting to the very hot economy in the Bay Area caused by the presence of firms such as Uber and other technology-related employers.

As a result, the recommendation is to narrow the ranges but also raise them. Only one individual is above the range and he/she may well be within range once it is pulled up. Sixty-four individuals are below-range and will get raises.
