Announcement Date: 
Wednesday, December 15, 2021 - 13:30

The University will proceed with implementing an updated Staff Salary Structure in order to comply with the revised New Mexico State Minimum Wage rate of $11.50 per hour, which will go into effect on 01/01/2022. This will result in increases to the starting rate for Grades 5 – 10, as well as changes to all grades as it pertains to First Quartile, Midpoint, Third Quartile, and Maximum rates—which will result in Salary Increases for certain Staff and Student Employees.

Rob Armijo sent a separate email/list to those Units with Staff and Student Employees that will receive Salary Increases effective 01/01/2022.

NOTE: As in the past for similar circumstances, the Provost’s Office will be covering the additional costs for salaries funding by I&G money.
