Negotiated Salary Program
Frequently Asked Questions
- Who do I reach if I have questions?
- Any questions, comments, or concerns can be directed to our team at [email protected].
- What are the form deadlines?
- Each form has a unique deadline. For detailed information about who completes which form, and by when, visit the NSP Timeline page.
- What are some tips on completing Form B?
- We've found many errors to Form B during past NSP cycles. Fund managers, please double-check Form B and ensure that:
*Summer month's salary are accurate
*Estimated Composite Benefits Rate and Total Amount Needed for Participation amounts are accurate
*Under the funding chart, the "amount to be used for NSP" needs to be the amount reserved for NSP, not the total amount remaining within the account.
*Fund manager has certified all the information on the bottom of Page 3, Lines 1 through 5, and has signed the form. If unable to verify all the information, the fund manager should complete line 5 and provide an explanation.
Please note that Academic Affairs will not be verifying the funding information as that remains the responsibility of the department fund manager. - What are some tips on completing Form C?
- The largest error to Form C during past NSP cycles is that the line stating "The Requester received a formal retention offer was not complete.
- Who do I submit Form C to if I don't have a Department Chair?
- Please have your associate Dean complete Form C and have them send Forms A, B, and C to the Dean.
- Who receives complete applications?
- Upon review, please submit the completed NSP packet(NSP Form A, NSP Form B, NSP Form C, and NSP Form D) to Vice Provost Phil Kass, [email protected], and Project Policy Analyst Marci Woods, [email protected].
- Which rate code should I use for the negotiated salary component in UC Path?
- The rate code "UCGCYN" should be used for the negotiated component. UCGCYN is considered a "not firm" pay component and will be decreased at the time of a range adjustment by the amount that the base salary (e.g. UCANNL, UCOFF1, etc.) increase, resulting in no increase to the Total UC Salary Rate.
- Will the NSP pay component end automatically?
- No, the NSP pay component does not end automatically. Please submit tickets to your service channel to end the UCGCYN component if someone is no longer in the NSP program.
- How will I know if my participation in NSP was endorsed?
- Upon final review of the NSP packet, the EVC/Provost or designee will make a final endorsement of participation. If endorsed, a completed packet with "Form E: Final Approvals" signed by the EVC/Provost or designee will be shared with your Dean's Office.
