APSU will prioritize annual salary adjustments, consisting of market adjustments and performance adjustments, as the critical milestones of growth identified in the Strategic Plan 2015-2025 are reached. The primary objective is to achieve the salary median for each position. Funds may be applied as either, or a combination of, market adjustments or performance adjustments. The goal of market adjustments will be to reposition an employee or group of employees to a more positive placement in the salary market. The goal of performance adjustments will be to reward positive job performance demonstrated through evidence presented by managers. The President’s Council, with input from Faculty and Staff Senate leadership, will provide recommendations to the President when allocating available funds. In making recommendations, the President’s Council will consider the following institutional values:

Ensuring that all salaries are at or exceed the living wage

Addressing inversion and compression issues

Providing performance adjustments to employees when appropriate
