UF Employees Paid At Least $100,000

The highest paid UF employee was Mark Bleiweis, whose annual pay was $1,600,000.

Many university employees are paid from more than one funding category, such as:
* Auxiliary
* Contracts and Grants
* Education and General

To find UF employees paid at least $100,000 for this table, all funding sources in this payroll were combined for each employee in the Salary column.

Lower-Paid Positions

Some employees are paid as little as $64 a year for accounting reasons. Therefore, compiling a list of the lowest-paid was not possible.

Instead, positions with at least 100 employees were evaluated based on median pay. Most noteworthy are the 241 entry-level custodial workers. Half are paid $32,103 or less. That is $15.43 an hour.
