On September 23, 2026, the Business Board approved a series of recommendations regarding compensation increases for Confidential, Professional & Managerial (PM), Advancement Professionals (AP), and Research Associate & Senior Research Associate (RA/SRA) staff.

Merit increases

The University administers annual merit increases for eligible non-represented staff groups in line with each group’s existing compensation policies. Merit increases will be determined based on June 30, 2026 pay.

Across the Board (ATB) increase

Across the Board (ATB) increases for eligible non-represented staff groups have historically been determined by taking into account the compensation increases negotiated with some of our other employee groups. Accordingly, the Business Board has approved a 4.00% ATB increase for eligible employees effective July 1, 2026.

Processing Instructions

Detailed processing instructions for this year’s merit increases will be distributed to Divisional HR Offices and Business Officers in advance of the October pay close.
