Raises

11/30/18

Dear Colleague,

The UMass System Office informed our campus (and all UMass campuses) to disperse your raises—all of it—4% total on your base salary (from the 2% increase due July 1, 2017, and the additional 2% increase due July 1, 2018), and retroactive pay back to July 1, 2017.  You will be receiving this in your December 14 paycheck.

Dear Colleague,

As you know, the UMass Presidents Office is telling us that there is not enough money appropriated for our raises.  But we know that money has been appropriated for the first year of the raises.  We have been pressing for at least that raise, due July 1, 2017, even if all the money has not come for the second year of our raises, due last July 1, 2018.

Dear Colleague,

Some great news and reminders from the FSU.   

►Your raises:  Even though you ratified our contract in the summer, we have not received our raises because the legislature and Governor had yet to validate and fund our contracts (and other UMass contracts).  The House Ways and Means Committee just released a supplemental budget to fund these, and we expect both Houses to pass this and for the Governor to sign.  Yes you will receive retroactive pay.
