Dear Members,

Happy Spring semester!  (oddly, I write this in single digit windchills)

I hope you had a relaxing, restful, and productive period of non-responsibility. And for those new to UMB, we welcome you to campus and wish you a positive and productive semester ahead.

Reminder:  Deadline for Librarians and NTTs to submit promotion materials

The due date for Librarians to submit promotion materials to your supervisor is Tuesday, January 23^rd.

Dear Members,

The FSU has received your emails regarding the January 19, 2024, paycheck specifically receipt of our second four percent pay raise.  

We reached out to Human Resources who stated that the December 31^st to Jan 13^th pay period and paid January 19^th is not the first full pay period of the year, and therefore the raises will not be paid until the Feb 2 paycheck which is the first full pay period of the year.

Sincerely,

Caroline Coscia                             Sana Haroon
