Mid-Year Salary Adjustment

Overview – Mid-Year Salary Adjustment

For administrators, see the retention offer resource.

Points to consider: 

• Normally, Board of Trustees expect salaries among faculty to vary over time, as annual raises are based almost exclusively on individual merit. (Refers to IU Policy ACA-28.)
• If an issue of equity may be involved, contact the Office of Institutional Equity. They can do the appropriate salary analysis.   
• IUPUI allows cash bonuses to be paid (not additions to base), based on developed policies at the school level.
• Some schools or departments may have revenue-sharing models for Indirect Cost Recovery from external grants.   
• Consider nominating faculty for campus awards; some involve one-time bonuses, and others involve increases to base salaries.   

For questions about market rates for various disciplines, contact the assistant vice chancellor for faculty affairs at ude[dot]iupui[at]rhdaca. For insights into faculty retention, contact the associate vice chancellor for faculty diversity and inclusion at ude[dot]iupui[at]aao.
