Except for senior managers, the total compensation for UC staff is near market averages.

UC periodically evaluates how total compensation for various employee groups compares against competitor institutions. Total compensation includes cash compensation (base salary), health and welfare benefits and retirement benefits (pension and retiree health).

As with previous studies, the 2009 assessment found that cash compensation for many employee groups is below market, most significantly for policy-covered (nonunion) staff, but that UC's benefits currently are ahead of market for some staff groups.

In future years, the total compensation of UC staff may deteriorate in comparison to market averages due to increases in employee contributions to health care costs and the UC retirement system.
