Important Information for Employees
One Time Bonus Payment
The university is mindful of the rising costs and inflationary pressures employees are facing, as the university is experiencing similar challenges in many areas of operations. To assist our employees in this difficult economic environment, a one-time payment will be provided to all employees who earn $150,000 or less. All eligible* regular and adjunct employees will automatically receive this one-time bonus on either the 15th (semimonthly) or 17th (biweekly) of February, depending on their payroll cycle.

Medical Premium Increase Delay
In addition to the one-time bonus payment, and to further support our employees, we are pleased to announce that the medical premium increases scheduled to go into effect in January 2023 will be delayed until July 2023. The University will absorb this increase for all employees for these six months of 2023. The employee portion of the medical premiums will remain unchanged during this time. New premium rate deductions will begin in July 2023.
