Possible Faculty Salary Incentive Program
![Page 33: 1. College of Engineering, Forestry & Natural Sciences College Meeting August 20, 2014 2.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649cd85503460f949a03dd/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
33
Possible Faculty Salary Incentive Program
Eligible Faculty• At least two years of external grants with ability
and capacity to pay salary plus ERE (not TRIF)
Arrangement• Grants pay a set percentage of reference
salary and associated ERE• Percentage in the range 15% to 50% (fixed)
![Page 34: 1. College of Engineering, Forestry & Natural Sciences College Meeting August 20, 2014 2.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649cd85503460f949a03dd/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
34
Possible Faculty Salary Incentive Program
Grace Period• Possible grace period between grants but
salary arrangement will not be modified; NAU will not pay the missing salary or allow you to temporarily return to “standard” salary model
Arrangement Terminated• If arrangement is terminated for whatever
reason then that faulty member is precluded from further participation
![Page 35: 1. College of Engineering, Forestry & Natural Sciences College Meeting August 20, 2014 2.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649cd85503460f949a03dd/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
35
Possible Faculty Salary Incentive Program
Example• Assume
o $100,000 AY salary with 35% ERE (reference salary)o 30% Of reference salary paid by grants (salary increase)
• Grants pay 30% of reference salary plus associated EREo NAU pays $100,000 for 0.769FTE plus associated EREo Grants pay for 0.231FTE plus associated ERE; 30% of
reference salary = $30,000 35% ERE on $30,000 = $10,500 Total paid by grants = $40,500
![Page 36: 1. College of Engineering, Forestry & Natural Sciences College Meeting August 20, 2014 2.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649cd85503460f949a03dd/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
36
Possible Faculty Salary Incentive Program
Example (cont’d.)• Faculty AY salary = $130,000 (base AY salary
reference point still $100K; raises will change reference AY salary; grants must accommodate any and all raises)
Only discussion stage at this time!
