Common use of Faculty Merit Plan Clause in Contracts

Faculty Merit Plan. SODM and Academic Portion in SOM All faculty members not enrolled in the Alternative Bonus Plan (ABP; 14.5 below), and with an academic merit rating of acceptable or above, are eligible in each fiscal year, for academic merit (aMerit) distributions under the FMP.3 1) aMerit distributions shall be added to bSalary after the EAGWI has been added, up to the faculty member’s tSalary for rank and specialty. aMerit distributions above the tSalary will be paid as a lump sum bonus. To be eligible for aMerit distribution, a faculty member must have an overall score of acceptable or better during the academic evaluation period from the previous calendar year. 2) Faculty effort aMerit distribution will be based on the faculty member’s score in the Research, Education and Administration categories except as noted below. A faculty member’s score in the Excellence (Ex) category will be counted, but only to a maximum of ten percent (10%) of his/her total FTE. Faculty effort in excess of 10% FTE in the Ex category, as well as any faculty effort in the Transition (T) category, will be proportionally assigned to the R, E and A categories where that faculty member has designated effort. For each evaluative category a faculty member will be scored on the following scale: unacceptable = 0; marginal = 0.5; acceptable = 1.0; superior (exceptional in SODM) = 2.0. The resulting aMerit value for each category is the evaluation score times the faculty effort in that category adjusted to achieve a distribution of R+E+A+Ex = 100% of academic effort. The faculty member’s aMerit Multiplier for each fiscal year shall be the sum of the resulting calculated merit values for the R (R score x adjusted effort), E (E score x adjusted effort), A (A score x adjusted effort) and, if applicable, Ex (Ex score x adjusted effort) categories. [R score x adjusted effort + E score x adjusted effort + A score x adjusted effort + Ex score x adjusted effort = aMerit Multiplier]. 3) A faculty member’s aMerit Multiplier for each year is multiplied by the member’s bSalary times the total academic effort to arrive at a faculty member’s aMerit Product. [aMerit multiplier x bSalary x academic effort = faculty aMerit product].

Faculty Merit Plan. SODM and Academic Portion in SOM All faculty members not enrolled in the Alternative Bonus Plan (ABP; 14.5 13.5 below), and with an academic merit rating of acceptable or above, are eligible in each fiscal year, for academic merit (aMerit) distributions under the FMP.3 1) aMerit distributions shall be added to bSalary after the EAGWI has been added, up to the faculty member’s tSalary for rank and specialty. aMerit distributions above the tSalary will be paid as a lump sum bonus. To be eligible for aMerit distribution, a faculty member must have an overall score of acceptable or better during the academic evaluation period from the previous calendar year. For FY 20 eligibility for aMerit is based on the aggregate of eligibility for academic years 2015, 2016 and 2017. For FY 21 aMerit eligibility is based on the aggregate of eligibility for academic years 2018 and 2019. 3 SOM faculty with less than .5 FTE, who have not been required to undergo an annual merit review, will be considered to have received an “acceptable” score for aMerit. 2) Faculty effort aMerit distribution will be based on the faculty member’s score in the Research, Education and Administration categories except as noted below. A faculty member’s score in the Excellence (Ex) category will be counted, but only to a maximum of ten percent (10%) of his/her total FTE. Faculty effort in excess of 10% FTE in the Ex category, as well as any faculty effort in the Transition (T) category, will be proportionally assigned to the R, E and A categories where that faculty member has designated effort. For each evaluative category a faculty member will be scored on the following scale: unacceptable = 0; marginal = 0.5; acceptable = 1.0; superior (exceptional in SODM) = 2.0. The resulting aMerit value for each category is the evaluation score times the faculty effort in that category adjusted to achieve a distribution of R+E+A+Ex = 100% of academic effort. The faculty member’s aMerit Multiplier for each fiscal year shall be the sum of the resulting calculated merit values for the R (R score x adjusted effort), E (E score x adjusted effort), A (A score x adjusted effort) and, if applicable, Ex (Ex score x adjusted effort) categories. [R score x adjusted effort + E score x adjusted effort + A score x adjusted effort + Ex score x adjusted effort = aMerit Multiplier]. 3) A faculty member’s aMerit Multiplier for each year is multiplied by the member’s his or her bSalary times the total academic effort to arrive at a faculty member’s aMerit Product. [aMerit multiplier x bSalary x academic effort = faculty aMerit product]. 4) All participating faculty members’ academic aMerit Products for an evaluation period are summed to create the total of all faculty aMerit Products. The amount of aMerit distribution to each participating faculty member is calculated as a proportion of each faculty member’s aMerit Product to the total of all faculty aMerit Products times that year’s aMerit Pool. [(individual faculty aMerit product/total faculty aMerit products) x academic pool dollars = faculty aMerit distribution]
