About Systemwide Compensation Programs

The Staff Compensation Programs unit oversees systemwide staff compensation policy and program design, tools and systems, working closely with compensation and human resource professionals at the ten campuses and five medical centers. We facilitate collection and analysis of internal and external market data for strategic decision support and planning. We ensure that compensation policies and programs comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements. We also work closely with talent management professionals across the campuses and medical centers to ensure alignment of the university's compensation programs and strategies with recruiting, career development and broader HR strategies.

The Executive Compensation Programs unit oversees systemwide executive compensation policy and program design, tools and systems, collaborating with the campuses, medical centers and Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. We oversee the creation and maintenance of the executive compensation structures (Market Reference Zones) and all incentive and recognition programs and related policies, systemwide.
