Hi SHARE members,
We wanted to make sure you saw this email from Human Resources below. The short version is that someone made a mistake, and our raises will be delayed by one paycheck, until August 16. HR has apologized for this error.
We understand that this may be an inconvenience for some people. Please know that you will get any retro owed, along with your raise, in the August 16th paycheck.
Notes about the August 2nd paycheck – performance bonuses and increases to grade minimums:
For those people getting a performance bonus this year, most of them will be in the August 2nd paycheck. If your manager submitted your evaluation late, the bonus may be delayed.
For those people whose pay is below the new minimum of the grade, you should receive an increase to the new minimum in the August 2nd paycheck.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Jameal, Jana, A.J., and Elisabeth

Subject: SHARE Contractual Increase
Dear SHARE represented staff,
Due to an administrative error, the SHARE union 2024 salary increase was not fully processed in time to be included in the August 2, 2024, direct deposit.
Generally, the SHARE collective bargaining agreement provides that any union member who has completed their probationary period receive either a 2% raise, or $.75 per hour, whichever is greater. In addition, employees reaching five, ten or fifteen years of service can qualify for additional raises based on their years of service, and progression along their respective salary grade.
Our staff across Human Resources apologizes for this error and are working to correct it as quickly as possible.
Employees eligible to receive an increase to the minimum of their respective grade have been processed. All other increases will be processed and applied for the August 16, 2024, direct deposit. All increases will be retroactive to July 14, 2024, and any retroactive payment due will also be direct deposited on August 16, 2024.
If you have any questions, please contact employeerelations@umassmed.edu.
Sincerely,
Matthew Lyford
