Effective Fall 2023, the Experience Based Salary Wage Schedule for Teaching Assistants and Associate Instructors is being implemented per the guidelines of the new ASE/GSR contracts. While Non-Student titles are not explicitly mentioned in regards to this policy in the new contract, the determination by Labor Relations & GEPA is that NSTs are covered by this contract, and in turn will be subject to the Experience Based Salary Wage Schedule. Placement on the Salary ScaleEmployment in the Teaching Assistant (002310) and employment in the Non-Student Tutor serving in the role of Teaching Assistant ( |
002510) titles equivalent to 25% for the duration of the quarter will count towards “University teaching experience.” We anticipate a quarter count report to be available for fall hiring. Example: Tommy Triton was employed as a 25% TA (002310) for 3 quarters during their time as a graduate student. In SP23, Tommy graduated, and for the 2023/24 AY the College Writing program wants to hire Tommy as a NST. Tommy's TA experience under job code 002310 counts towards their NST university teaching experience. For the 2023/24 AY, the College Writing Program will need to hire Tommy at salary point 2.

Benefits Eligibility - update in progress
Refer to “How to Determine Eligibility for Benefits” at: http://blink.ucsd.edu/finance/payroll/processes/eligibility.html#1.-Determine-the-employee%27s-BELL
- The BELI form should be completed and signed by the employee and retained by the department. It is not sent to Payroll or the Benefits Office.
- Full Benefits (BELI = 1): 50% time for a year (12 months) or more. To maintain eligibility, employee must maintain an average regular paid time of at least 17.5 hours per week (43.75% time).
- Mid-level Benefits (BELI = 3): 100% time for at least three months. To maintain eligibility, employee must maintain an average regular paid time of at least 17.5 hours per week (43.75%).
- Core Benefits (BELI = 4): Appointed at least 43.75% and average regular paid time is at least 17.5 hours a week.
- No Health or Welfare Benefits (BELI = 5): Less than 43.75% time and average regular paid time is less than 17.5 hours a week.
If the employee is eligible for Full Benefits (BELI 1), Mid-level Benefits (BELI 3) or Core Benefits (BELI 4), give the person the appropriate Benefits information. For BELI 1 and 3, let the employee know that enrollment in the health and welfare plans must occur during the 31-day period of initial eligibility (PIE), which starts when first eligible for benefits. Contact the Graduate Division for assistance as needed.
1000 Hour Policy for Non-Student Tutors and Readers - update in progress
Effective January 1, 2001, an employee appointed as a non-student Tutor or Reader (and most other non-student academic and staff titles) will become a University of California Retirement Program (UCRP) member after accumulating 1,000 hours on pay status during a rolling 12-month period (with no break-in-service exceeding 120 days). Once the employee reaches 1000 hours they become eligible for full benefits (BELI = 1).
- The hiring department should update the assigned BELI code to “1” once the employee reaches 1000 hours.
In addition, the employee must enroll in the health and welfare plans by completing the UPAY 850 form http://ucnet.universityofcalifornia.edu/forms/pdf/upay-850.pdf during their 31-day period of initial eligibility (PIE), which starts when they become eligible for benefits. (For an employee paid monthly, the PIE starts the first day of the month after the employee reaches 1,000 hours on pay status.) If they fail to enroll during their PIE, they will be defaulted into single-party coverage for Core Medical, Delta Dental, and the Vision Service Plan.
Important: Employees must maintain an average regular paid time of at least 17.5 hours per week (43.75% or more), and remain in an eligible appointment, for continued eligibility at this benefit level.
More information about benefits can be found under Group Insurance Plans at: http://ucnet.universityofcalifornia.edu/index.html.
