At its discretion, the University may make adjustments in the salary and fringe benefits of individuals in excess of these amounts when appropriate for the maintenance of the academic quality of an academic unit, to reflect competitive changes in the market, to reward outstanding professional contributions, and to effect the correction of inequities. The University may set maximum salary and fringe benefit amounts. Salary adjustments under the foregoing provisions are not subject to grievance.
B. Employees shall be grouped by discipline as follows:
- Physical/Life Sciences
- Social Sciences
- Humanities

It is understood that, following notice to the employee, and where no dispute exists as to the overpayment or as to the amount owing, the University may recoup the overpayment by deducting the maximum amount available at law from the employee’s wages until the overpayment has been paid. Nothing contained herein shall preclude the parties from making alternate arrangements to repay the amount owing; nor does this Agreement, nor any action taken by the University pursuant to this article serve as a waiver of any right, entitlement or ability to pursue such lawful remedies as it may have either singly or in combination, or preclude the University from pursuing any of its collection rights at law.
