KSU President Dr. Richard Linton has unveiled plans for upgrading employee salaries at the university. He told K-State Today for Fiscal Year 2023 there will be a 2% across-the-board increase for benefits-eligible faculty, unclassified and university support staff hired on or before Dec. 1, 2021.
In addition benefit-eligible faculty and staff will also be eligible for merit raises based on performance evaluations for the calendar year 2021 made possible for university funding which will support an additional 3% merit pool allocation provided to university units. Those investments are in addition to funding for increased employer fringe benefit costs, faculty promotions, professional performance awards and total rewards adjustments for under-market staff salaries.
Individual salary increases will be reflected in Fiscal Year 2023 contracts that will be issued in early June.
