Salary Analysis Sheet (see example below): to be attached by the School's Budget Officer; view on the AA Dashboard

If no salary adjustment (i.e., salary increase or decrease, 9.5-month to 12-month conversions, or vice versa) is required, please attach a formal memo indicating so. The memo should state that the appointment request for the faculty member's name is without salary adjustment and include the reason. It needs to be signed and dated by both the dean and budget officer.
