Universiti Malaysia Kelantan (UMK) is firmly committed to ensuring fair and equitable compensation for all employees. The University upholds principles of transparency, merit-based evaluation, and non-discrimination in determining salary structures and career progression. Pay and benefits are distributed consistently, without bias related to gender, ethnicity, age, religion, disability, or employment category.
As a public university, UMK adopts the Sistem Saraan Perkhidmatan Awam (SSPA) framework for staff remuneration. This national pay system reinforces UMK’s Pay Scale Equity Policy by emphasizing fairness, transparency, and equal treatment across all job roles. Under this framework, UMK ensures that:
-
All eligible employees, academic and non-academic, are assessed under the same standardized pay rules.
-
Compensation is determined by job grade, responsibilities, and performance, rather than non-job-related factors.
-
Annual and structural salary adjustments are applied consistently, preventing pay disparities.
-
The University’s commitment to equitable treatment is supported by a strong legal and institutional remuneration structure.
Through this approach, UMK fosters a respectful and inclusive workplace culture where every staff member is valued and recognized fairly for their contributions toward the University's growth and success.
