Information for UC health care employees about UC’s latest wage proposal

Yesterday afternoon UC presented UPTE leaders a proposal to increase UC’s previous wage offer for UC health care professional employees. The proposal, summarized in the chart below, is based on local market conditions in each of the five regions within which UC medical centers operate. In addition to general across-the-board increases at each location, additional increases/measures (step or equity increases, range adjustments, etc.) are being offered to address market-based wage issues for certain positions and/or medical centers. UC’s wage offer is part of a total compensation package that includes excellent health and retirement benefits and is dependent upon an agreement on all outstanding economic issues, including pension reform.
