Dear Colleagues:
It is my greatest pleasure to inform you that we will receive our retroactive salary increases back to July 1, 2014. Recall that we finally received our cost of living increases on May 3, 2015, but these were supposed to begin on July 1, 2014. We received our merit pay in June 2015 (back to May 3), but merit pay was supposed to be awarded back to the first paycheck in January, 2015. We are now scheduled to receive back pay for both of these raises by the end of October of this year. We will keep you informed.
