RE:Ā Courtesy notice regarding annual systemwide payroll disclosure
Dear Colleague:
Ā
As part of the universityās commitment to transparency and public accountability, including the way it compensates faculty and staff, UC is conducting its annual disclosure of systemwide employee compensation for calendar year 2023. This disclosure parallels last yearās payroll disclosure and is consistent with similar practices at many other public institutions.
Ā
The 2023 payroll data, along with a summary analysis, isĀ available online here. The data will also be available to news media upon request.
Ā
Because UC is a public institution, employee compensation is considered a public record under the California Public Records Act and is reflected in the staff personnel policy in Personnel Policies for Staff MembersĀ (PPSM 80(C):
Ā
āInformation which is public information and which should be released upon request includes name, date of hire, current position title, current salary, organizational unit assignment, date of separation, office address and office telephone number, current job description, full-time or part-time, and appointment type.ā
Ā
Academic personnel policy,Ā Academic Personnel Manual (APM) 160-20(b)(4),Ā also states that any ānon-personalā information āis public information and is available upon request to any person or entity without limitation.ā It defines ānon-personalā academic personnel information as including name, date of hire or separation, current position title, and current rate of pay.
Ā
Questions about access to the payroll data may be directed to pra@ucop.edu.
Ā
Sincerely,
Ā
UCOP Office of Public Records
