Salary and Wage Guidelines

September Increases Academic Year 2009-2010

The University of Missouri System Salary Guidelines do not provide salary increases for fiscal year 2009 - 10.  The restrictions apply to all increase types, regardless of funding, including grant funded positions.  The President has approved a campus request to exempt student employees from the increase restriction.  This request was predicated on the campus view of student employment as an important component of the University’s financial aid program. 
The campus will continue to provide funding for faculty promotions.  Campus units will continue to be responsible for funding increases required by policy or law such as minimum wage increases or Service/Maintenance longevity (step) increases. 

Pay Ranges

The pay matrices will not be increased at the minimum or the maximum.  The student wage guidelines have been changed to reflect the new federal minimum wage. (i.e.,  $7.25 per hour.)   

Delegation of Authority — Executive Order #6

In accordance with the May 26, 2006 revision to Executive Order #6, the following personnel actions pertaining to employment, changes in status and termination must be approved by the President:

  • All executive-level positions, with salary at or above $100,000, reporting directly to the Chancellor or the Chancellor's immediate staff. Executive level positions are defined as those appointments assigned to 15 Occupational Group Codes
  • All appointments with salary or total pay above $200,000 (other than medical faculty at the School of Medicine)

Mid-Year Increases (including reclassifications)

A mid-year increase for a benefit eligible employee is an exception to policy and requires the approval of the Chancellor's direct report. All increases associated with reclassifications require the approval of the Chancellor's direct report.

All increases must be in compliance with the provisions of Executive Order #6. (See Justification for Increases form.)
