The implementation of across-the-board and merit salary increases for faculty represented by United Academics is well underway and paychecks issued on Jan. 31, 2014, should reflect increases that were effective July 1, 2013. Unit heads will be sending letters reporting individual faculty members’ increases to each faculty member before the end of January.
The following chart and the relevant section of “CBA Article 26: Salary” outline the structure and timeline for implementation of this increase.

*The calculation of the FY 14 across-the-board increase for hourly employees requires further communication with departments to accurately determine the number of hours worked in June/July. Assuming timely response from those departments, we anticipate having the pay increases paid to those employees, via manual check, on a rolling basis, by February 15 |
