RE: SX July 2016 One-Step Increase
The SX (AFSCME) bargaining unit will receive a one-step increase this July. The effective date for bi-weekly paid employees is July 3, 2016.
The process will begin the evening of Wednesday, May 11 and the entire process will be handled centrally by Human Resources. The only action we ask of departments is to review the final EDB updates AFTER the EDB update takes place on the evening of May 20, 2016. At that time, please confirm that all your staff in the SX bargaining unit received a one-step increase.
To be eligible for the one-step increase on July 3, 2016 an SX employee must be non-probationary AND be on pay status or on an approved leave in the SX bargaining unit on the effective date of the increase (July 3, 2016) and the date of the payout (July 27, 2016).
Probationary employees hired on or before July 3, 2016 are eligible to receive the one-step increase on the first bi-weekly pay period following 30 days after completion of their probation.
Example: Employee completes probation on August 8, 2016. The employee is eligible to receive the one-step increase on September 11, 2016 (August 8 + 30 days = September 7, 2016 + next full bi-weekly pay period = September 11, 2016).
