Recent studies show that The University of Iowa is a locally and nationally competitive employer and a salary leader in many job classifications.
Salaries are an institutional and Board of Regents priority.
As a public employer, salary information and policies are public, making the information accessible for staff review.
"Comparable worth," the Iowa state law that provides the basis for state salaries, ensures equity in pay across classifications based on responsibilities, skill, effort, and working conditions.
The Merit Pay Plan provides a consistent pay structure across the Board of Regents institutions, as provided through regent merit rules and/or collective bargaining agreements.
