UC policy for salary and appointments of senior management group (SMG) positions requires that compensation be reviewed and approved by the regents. Salary and appointments of non-SMG, non-academic employees whose total compensation is higher than $214,000 and whose actions are approved by campuses or other UC locations must be reported to the regents in the next bi-monthly report following approval of the action.
The following appointments and compensation were approved by the UC Board of Regents today (Nov. 18):
UC HEALTH SCIENCES
UC Irvine Medical Center
Karen A. Grimley, Chief Nursing Officer, UC Irvine Medical Center. The Irvine campus requested approval for the appointment of Karen A. Grimley as Chief Nursing Officer, effective upon regental approval. The Chief Nursing Officer position, formerly called the Chief Patient Care Services Officer, was vacated due to the prior incumbent's retirement. After a national search, Grimley, who had been providing interim leadership through a contract services agency, was identified as the top candidate. Her nearly 20 years of experience in clinical services, education, and track record for success coupled with her leadership abilities and passion for nursing will allow the Medical Center to excel in areas related to service and staff engagement.
The proposed base salary of $274,000 is .0092 percent below the median market salary of $276,543 (source: Mercer Integrated Health Networks Survey) and at the midpoint of SLCG Grade 109 (Minimum $214,700, Midpoint $274,000, Maximum $333,700). The position qualifies for participation in the Clinical Enterprise Management Recognition Plan at an annual target payout of 15 percent ($41,100) and a maximum potential of 25 percent ($68,500). As part of the senior management group, this position qualifies for a 5 percent monthly contribution to the Senior Management Supplemental Benefit program ($13,700 a year). Per policy, this position qualifies for reimbursement of all reasonable moving expenses and temporary living assistance up to $12,000 total. This position is funded 100 percent by UC Irvine Medical Center operating revenue.

According to Mercer Human Resource Consulting, data from the 2009/2010 College and University Professional Association (CUPA) Administrative Compensation Survey, the proposed base salary is 9.3 percent above the market median of $186,839 for the Chief Planning and Budget Officer. Per policy, Delaney is ineligible to participate in the Senior Management Supplemental Benefit Program as a member of tenured faculty, and she will not be eligible to accrue sabbatical credits.
