UADA Growth Reward Opportunity (GRO)

UADA's Growth Reward Opportunity (GRO) provides an opportunity for an employee to receive a monetary reward when they can demonstrate growth/continued growth in their position. Growth is defined as exemplary performance and entails achievement and increased competence, not years of service. The reward is intended to reflect the added value the employee contributes to the Division and is made as an increase to the employee’s base salary.

This policy applies to Division employees who are in most appointed positions (excluded are the following state titles: Faculty, Graduate/Senior Graduate Assistant, Department Chairperson, District Directors, all VP titles and all titles that report directly to the Vice President and/or Senior Associate Vice President).
