2.

Positions and/or titles, in the unit, paid on a "By Agreement" [4] basis may continue to be paid on a "By Agreement" basis insofar as the amount paid to each “By Agreement” NSF is at or above the minimum of the salary range for her/his position, and general range adjustments are provided pursuant to A.1. above if the annualized full time equivalent salary for the “By Agreement” NSF’s salary is below the maximum of the salary range. [5]

 

3.

Positions and/or titles that are or become eligible to participate in the University's health science compensation plans may participate in those plans in accordance with the policies and procedures in effect at the time.

 

4.

In the event that the University proposes to restructure the salary scales/schedules for any title(s), in the unit, the University will provide notice to the UC-AFT and upon request will meet and confer prior to implementation.

 

F. GRIEVABILITY

Decisions related to the amount and timing of general range adjustments, merit adjustments, and all aspects of the non-general range adjustment provided to other academic employees are not grievable. The implementation of the amount and timing of the general range adjustments is subject to grievance and arbitration.
