Ohio University announces details for FY2025 salary increases

In appreciation for the hard work of OHIO’s faculty and staff, University leadership has approved merit-based salary increases for eligible faculty and staff in fiscal year 2025. Guidelines for merit increases are outlined below.

FY24 Salary Increase

Eligibility Requirement:

• Employees must be hired before January 1, 2024.
• Administrative employees who have received a salary increase due to a promotion to a higher paygrade (either through a search or an incumbent review), market adjustment, in-range adjustment, or equity compression adjustment on or after January 1, 2024, are eligible for the raise pool.
• Post-doc and grant funded employees must be hired before January 1, 2024 to receive an increase, unless increases are prohibited by the grant. 
• AFSCME 3200, AFSCME 1699, FOP Police Officers, & FOP Police Lieutenants should refer to the language within their respective collective bargaining agreements related to wages. 

The basis for the raise pool distribution will be as follows: 

• Divisions have been instructed to allocate a raise pool equaling two percent of salary for all eligible employees that will then be distributed based on merit.
• Colleges and Planning Units may set aside up to 0.50% for a Dean/Vice President/Vice Provosts’ discretionary pool to address exceptional merit and market/compression. Specific unit guidelines for distribution of merit increases should be communicated within each planning unit.
• Merit increases are to be based on the quality of an individual's performance as evidenced by their performance evaluation. The Provost (or Planning Unit Head for non-academic units) must approve merit increases outside the approved minimum of 0.50% (for meeting expectations) and a maximum of 5.00%. Those requests must be submitted to the Provost (or Planning Unit Head) before the submission deadline of May 31, 2024. Employees who receive an increase outside the approved range are to be provided with a written explanation of the reasons. Units must use the most recent performance evaluation rating when determining the percentage merit increase, unless the increase will be 2% across the board.

Faculty Promotions:

• Promotion to Associate Professor –$6,670
• Promotion to Professor –$9,670
• Promotion to Associate Professor of Instruction –$4,670
