Salary Structures
The formal salary structures, for both Exempt and Nonexempt positions, are developed under the umbrella of the University System of Maryland (USM). Each salary scale is reviewed biannually, on alternating years. Recommendations to adjust the scales are made in accordance with market movement. Each USM institution is involved in the development of the recommendations. The Compensation and Classification Team adheres to using a market-based pay system. Various national and local salary surveys are used to determine the appropriate salaries for staff employees.
