Courtesy notice regarding the annual payroll disclosure
The University has now released payroll datafor calendar year 2025. This disclosure parallels last year’s payroll disclosure and is consistent with similar practices at many other public institutions.
Dear colleague:
As part of the university’s commitment to transparency and public accountability, UC annually publishes systemwide employee compensation information. The University has now released payroll datafor calendar year 2025. This disclosure parallels last year’s payroll disclosure and is consistent with similar practices at many other public institutions.
The 2025 payroll data, along with a summary analysis, is available online here. UC’s workforce includes faculty and staff working across education, research, health care and public service, and compensation structures vary depending on role and type of work.
Because UC is a public institution, employee compensation is considered a public record under the California Public Records Act and is reflected in Personnel Policies for Staff Members (PPSM 80(C)).
“Information which is public information and which should be released upon request includes name, date of hire, current position title, current salary, organizational unit assignment, date of separation, office address and office telephone number, current job description, full-time or part-time, and appointment type.”
Academic personnel policy, Academic Personnel Manual (APM) 160-20(b)(4), also states that any “non-personal” information “is public information and is available upon request to any person or entity without limitation.” It defines “non-personal” academic personnel information as including name, date of hire or separation, current position title, and current rate of pay.
Questions about access to the payroll data may be directed to pra@ucop.edu.
Sincerely,
UCOP Office of Public Records
