A commitment to transparency and accountability.

Whether it’s in education, health, research, or administration, UC Davis values its number one resource — you. The Compensation department strives to develop wage and classification programs that attract, motivate, and retain the best qualified employees.

We work hard to manage a robust classification system as well as an innovative wage and salary program by collaborating with key units in Davis and Sacramento. We provide the university with a wide range of services that will enable leaders to hire, recognize, and reward employee excellence. Our goals are to:

• Classify occupied and vacant staff positions.

• Develop and analyze labor market salary data.

• Establish wage rates and salary ranges for staff classifications.

• Review and approve stipends and equity adjustments.

• Serve as office of record for position descriptions.

• Provide consultation and training for managers, supervisors and staff.
