How is Faculty Salary Determined?

Pursuant to the MSCF contract, each new faculty member’s education and experience will determine how they are credentialed and where they are placed on the salary schedule. The Campus HR office cannot guarantee an annual salary for faculty. Therefore, when a new faculty member accepts a job offer, they do so understanding that, initially, they will be placed at the minimum salary for that position.

After a new faculty is hired, they have the opportunity to submit their education and verified work experience forms through their online employee profile, which is then received by the System Office, who makes the determination of their salary. To view the steps limits, definition of columns, and salary schedules for faculty, you will reference the MSCF contract, Chapter 13 – Wages. Understand that each new faculty, no matter their education or experience, needs to abide by the Initial Salary Placement rules that prevent them from exceeding a certain pay step in each column on the salary schedule.
