San Diego State University
PAE-11: Sustainable Compensation

Salary ranges for San Diego State non-management employees are determined through collective bargaining between 12 employee unions and the California State University Chancellor's Office. Collective bargaining helps to ensure employee compensation is adequate and changes to employee hours, compensation, working conditions, and benefits for represented employees must be agreed upon by the Labor Relations Department at the Chancellor's Office and unions representing the 23 CSU campuses. http://www.calstate.edu/LaborRel/Contracts_HTML/current_cba.shtml http://www.calstate.edu/LaborRel/Contracts_HTML/current_cba.shtml Collective bargaining agreements include provisions for market salary adjustments and general salary increases that contribute to sustainable compensation. Bargaining agreements also helps ensure equity within employee classes and establish grievance procedures. Five of the 12 collective bargaining agreements were revised as recently as 2009-2010. Most were last revised in 2008-2009. Current contracts are in effect for all units.

SDSU employee headcount numbers reflect permanent and temporary employees hired through the SDSU Center for Human Resources. Faculty, non-management staff, and graduate student assistants are covered by collective bargaining agreements, which support sustainable compensation. Student assistants are not covered by sustainable compensation policies as defined here. These numbers do not include a small number of contractors, which may be hired directly by departments and are not tracked by the Center. Most recent information available is 2011. The total number of employees estimate includes all management, faculty, staff, graduate students, and student assistants hired through the Center for Human Resources and Associated Students full and part-time employees. The number of employees covered by a compensation policy includes all faculty and staff covered by collective bargaining agreements. Management positions as defined by the Higher Education Employer-Employee Relations Act (HEERA, which are not covered by collective bargaining in the California State University System are reported as a part of the staff count because the data has not been disaggregated. While management positions are non-union they are governed by Chancellor's Office policies and guidelines, which include provisions for equity and market salary increases and benefits, and faculty retreat rights. Associated Students employees are not covered by CSU collective bargaining agreements or Chancellor's Office policy.
