Titles and Pay Rates

Classification Overview

All jobs on the Berkeley Campus are classified with a title name and title code. For each title, there is a description of the position. The creation and description of job classifications is a task done at the system-wide level of the university; individual campuses do not create new job classifications. Rates of pay may vary by campus for the same classification.

Example - a student may work as a Student Assistant-Regular in a unit during regular day hours when a supervisor is present. The same student may be assigned to be in charge of a shift with responsibilities over other student employees. This worker would be paid at the Student Assistant-Workleader rate for those shifts only. Dual-rated student employees are paid at the Student Assistant-Regular rate outside of these workleader responsibilities.
