Las Vegas Sun: UNLV gives merit pay as it shows others door

While some UNLV employees are taking buyouts or getting laid off, others are getting more money.

A salary roster UNLV released this week shows 1,427 of 1,968 faculty and professional staff members are receiving merit-based raises this fiscal year worth $1,000 to $4,500 annually. That means 72.5 percent of UNLV workers eligible for merit pay were awarded it.

Employees will begin receiving their merit raises Jan. 1.
