Dates of Hire & Faculty Salaries

The academic year begins July 1 and ends June 30. Ladder-rank faculty appointments are expected to begin July 1.
When a July 1 hire date is not possible, appointments commencing in the middle of the academic year should begin at the beginning of a quarter. A mid-quarter hire date may be considered if special circumstances warrant such exception. Appropriate justification for such an exception request should be made in the departmental letter.
Fiscal-year employees are paid on a monthly basis, after service is provided. Payment for work performed in the month of July is paid on or about August 1.
Academic employees with academic-year appointments who begin employment with the University fall quarter are paid for nine months of service over a twelve month period of time (9/12 or “nine over twelve” basis). The service periods for fall, winter and spring quarters are published in the University Calendar. Each quarter’s service is recognized in four monthly paychecks. The months in which these checks are received do not correspond to the service periods. The pay periods for academic-year appointees paid on a twelve-month basis are as follows:

Service Period	Pay Period	Paychecks Received On or About
Fall Quarter    October    November    December	July August September October	August 1 September 1 October 1 November 1
Winter Quarter    January    February    March	November December January February	December 1 January 1 February 1 March 1
Spring Quarter    April    May    June	March April May June	April 1 May 1 June 1 July 1

Academic-year appointees commencing employment after the fall quarter are compensated on a nine over nine (9/9) basis (APM 600, Appendix 3).
