UMMAP TA – How To Calculate Your Raises

If you have difficulty with following these directions or have questions, please come to one of the many membership meetings. We will have people to help you. If you are unable to attend one of these meetings, you can reach out to an Executive Board member. You can also print out a helpful worksheet HERE.

Here’s how to figure out your raises:

2. Find the corresponding scale on these charts:. If this chart is blurry for you, see this PDF.

3. Determine the appropriate step. To do this, you will need to know your current full-time base salary rate.

If you don’t know your full-time base salary rate, you can look it up HERE.

Then do two things:

1. Multiply your current full-time base salary rate by 1.06. This represents a 6% raise. Then find the first salary on the correct pay chart that is at least this amount. For example, if your current base salary is $50,000, you would multiply $50,000 x 1.06 and get $53,000. If your job is on scale D, you would scan that column and see that the first salary that is at least $53,000 is $53,646, which corresponds to Step no 11. Make a note of this step.

Set aside this information and

2. Add up the total number of years you will have held your current job title at UM AS OF MAY 15, 2025. (Here is a helpful calculator.) Include experience in all jobs in the same series (Associate, Intermediate, Senior, Clinical Specialist, etc.), as well as the following:
   • Any Non-Registered job experience will count for the relevant job title when certified.
   • Grad Non-Cert experience will count toward the associated permanent title.
   • Mammography Technologist experience will count for Mammography Dual Technologist.
   • Orthotist, Prosthetist, and Orthotist and Prosthetist experience will all count for each other.
   • All ultrasound technologist, vascular ultrasound technologist, MSK technologist, and cardiac sonographer non-invasive technologist experience will count for each other.
   • Allied Health Technical Coordinator experience while performing as Polysomnographic Technician (or lead) will count towards Polysomnographic experience.
   • Histology Technician experience will count for Medical Technologists or Medical Technologist Specialist.

Include time in UM temporary appointments as well as any time before a break in employment.

Round to the nearest whole number. (Example: 8.3 years would round down to 8 and 8.6 years would round up to 9.). Then look up this number in the STEPS column on your chart and find the corresponding salary. For example, if you have been in your job title for 17.2 years and are on scale D, you would see that the corresponding salary is step 17 with a salary of $57,797.

3. Compare the results of (1) and (2) above. You will be placed on the step that pays the higher amount. In the example, you would be placed on step 17, not step 11. This will be your new full-time base salary rate; if you are part-time, you will need to pro-rate this based on your FTE. I.e. if you have a .8 appointment, multiply the base salary rate by .8 to get your income.

To calculate your new hourly rate, divide the new full time base rate above by 2080.

If you are a Social Worker on the current career ladder as an Advanced or Expert, move yourself up one step. If you are a Scholar, you will receive a 5% differential in  addition to your base salary.

• Employees with greater than 30 years of time in job or with a salary above that of step 30, will be placed on step 30 and will receive the greater of the pay rate at step 30 or the 6.0% minimum increase to their base salary even if their salary exceeds the pay rate of step 30.

• Scale placements will happen within 90 days of ratification, but raises will be retroactive to November 1, 2024.

4. Next year, on November 1, 2025, everyone will again receive the higher of two calculated amounts:

1. The combined increase from moving up a step (1.25%) and the steps increasing by 3%. You can also look up your 2025-2026 salary on the charts HERE.

OR

2. The increase from accounting for relevant work experience and education/credentials not accounted for in the first year. This will include other relevant UM experience as well as non-UM experience. We have to work out some details with management, but at a minimum it could include the following. Depending on your situation, accounting for this experience MAY OR MAY NOT affect your salary. SEE EXAMPLE BELOW.
   1. One point (step) awarded for each year in which you have been employed to perform the duties of your current job title not at UM;
   2. Half a point (step) for each year in which you have been employed in a position comparable or relevant to your current job title at UM or elsewhere; up to a maximum of 5 points
   3. Points for non-required degrees, certifications, credentials, etc. relevant to the current job title up to a maximum of one (1) point for certifications and any exception by mutual agreement.
   4. EXAMPLES:
      1. In the first year, you accounted for 5 years of experience at UM and
         this put you on step 5. In the second year, you report that you have
         another 3 years of experience in the same job, but not at UM. This will
         increase you to step 8. The same thing would happen if you reported 6
         years of experience in a position at UM or elsewhere that is comparable
         or relevant to your current job title at UM (.5 points for each year).
      2. In the first year, you accounted for 5 years of experience at UM, but
         the 6% raise put you on step 12 (not step 5 as indicated by your years).
         In the second year, you report that you have another 3 years of
         experience in the same job, but not at UM. This will NOT affect your
         salary since you are already above step 8 (5 years at UM + 3 years not
         at UM).

5. On November 1, 2026, everyone will receive the combined increase from moving up a step (1.25%) and the steps increasing by 2.25%. You can also look up your 2026-2027 salary on the charts HERE.

Increases are the result of 1) moving up a step and 2) all the numbers on the chart increasing.

For example, the person who is placed at step 17 on Scale D making $57,797 will get an increase as follows: 1) they will move to step 18 ; 2) the step 18 salary will increase. A person on step 30 will get the annual increase but not the step increase.
