Salary
A starting salary is determined by the dean and the Provost and Vice
Chancellor for Academic Affairs in consultation with the department
chairperson
and is influenced by the qualifications of the appointee, availability
of funds, and market conditions in the specific field. Annual salaries
for incoming full-time faculty members are paid in twelve monthly installments.
In years when the legislature has provided funds for salary increases,
department
chairpersons review salaries of their faculty and recommend
increases
based on
the annual review
of faculty
performance. Procedures and criteria for merit salary increases vary
across departments.
The need for salary adjustments to address inequities should be reported
to the dean by chairpersons as appropriate. Salary increments for promotion
in rank are fixed. The chancellor, following consultation with the
provost and the deans, approves the cost-of-living and/or merit increases
as available
from actions of the legislature and from the Board of Governors and
the Office of the President of the University of North Carolina system.
At the same time that salary letters are prepared each year, the Provost
and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs furnishes to all faculty a statement
on salary which includes, among other things, the maximum, average, and
minimum salaries and the maximum, average, and minimum salary increments
for that year in dollars and percentage increases. This information is
provided for each rank and separately for the college and each school.
