Yesterday the Medical School announced that SHARE members, along with non-union employees, will receive this year's raise after all. This is great news, and we are happy that the Medical School made this decision. There were errors in the amounts of the raises for some members. SHARE staff are working on getting that fixed.
Who is eligible for the raise?
SHARE members are eligible for the raise ($0.50 or 2%, whichever is higher) if they had passed their probationary period by June 21, 2020.
SHARE members who were still in their probationary period on June 21, 2020 will get a different raise after their probationary period.
SHARE members hired after June 21, 2020 will get moved up to the new grade minimum if they are below it, and will be eligible for the next raise this July along with members who have been here longer.
Raise amount errors
It appears that, in an effort to deliver the raises before the holiday, the amounts that were processed for some SHARE members were incorrect. Eligible SHARE members received the same 2% as the non-union staff get. But SHARE members are supposed to get at least $0.50, and that part was missed.
Raise amount corrections
SHARE members will get the full raises that they are entitled to. SHARE staff are working with Human Resources to correct the errors as soon as possible. At this point, we do not yet know if the correction will be in the next paycheck. We will keep working on it and let you know when we know more about the timing, as well as the other aspects of the negotiated SHARE raises (merit bonuses, structure increases, probationary raises, etc.)
