Extra compensation at the University of California rises 9 percent over previous year

The San Francisco Chronicle reports:

Extra compensation paid to employees of the University of California rose $73 million over the last year to total $916 million, according to payroll data released Wednesday.

The payroll report, which excludes employees at the three national laboratories managed by UC, shows that the added compensation, paid on top of base salary and overtime, increased 9 percent to push UC's overall payroll to $8 billion.

The extra pay to many of UC's 233,778 employees includes such things as payments to medical staff who see patients, revenue sharing for faculty and administrators, night or weekend shift differentials, summer salaries for professors, stipends, housing allowances, relocation incentives, bonuses and buyouts of unused vacation.

The pay came from a variety of sources, according to the report. The bulk, almost 50 percent, came from professional fees and clinical revenue from the teaching hospitals. About 9 percent came from state tax funds and 7 percent came from student fees.

UC officials noted that among the $916 million in extra compensation handed out during the last year, nearly 80 percent went to academic employees.
