Merit increases are impacted by MTSA’s performance and are not guaranteed. A performance review does not always result in a salary increase. The employee’s overall performance and salary level relative to their position responsibilities are evaluated to determine if a salary increase is warranted.
Budget allocations for merit increases are determined before the start of each fiscal year. The salary increase program is designed to assist management in planning and allocating merit and promotional increases that reward individual performance, that are market competitive, and that are internally equitable.
Salary adjustments are occasionally warranted at times other than the employee’s scheduled annual salary reviews. Administration will review all salary increase/adjustment requests to ensure internal equity and compliance with MTSA policies and guidelines. Out-of-cycle salary increases must be approved by the MTSA President.
