Dear 新澳门六合彩内幕信息community,
The 新澳门六合彩内幕信息 is committed to being a great place to work and to providing an outstanding employee experience to our diverse and talented workforce. We continue to launch new initiatives designed to help recruit and retain top talent and to reward those whose dedication and service help advance our university.
Today, I am sharing several updates in this regard, which you may have heard about during this morning鈥檚 新澳门六合彩内幕信息Board of Trustees meeting.
Base salary increases and an increase to USF鈥檚 minimum wage
As I have spent time on each of our three campuses over the past year, it became clear that we can do more to support our people at every level, especially those who work hard on-campus day in and day out to support our facilities and operations. Our people are our greatest asset, without whom it would not be possible for us to provide such a strong environment for learning and innovation.
I am pleased to announce that the new Fiscal Year 23 budget shared at today鈥檚 USF Board of Trustees meeting includes an increase to USF鈥檚 minimum wage to a starting rate of $15 per hour for eligible employees. Additionally, out-of-unit administrative and staff employees will be eligible for an increase to base salaries.
The base salary increases will come from a 3% discretionary pool for all eligible out-of-unit (employees who are not represented by a union) administrative and staff employees. Supervisors will determine increases for individual employees based on criteria from 新澳门六合彩内幕信息Human Resources, including hiring date and performance history.鈥�
For out-of-unit employees, the minimum wage increase will be completed by the end of this month, and the base salary increases will be completed by the end of October. For in-unit employees, these changes will be implemented as permitted by collective bargaining agreements.鈥疻e鈥痑re鈥痗ommitted to bargaining in good faith鈥痺ith鈥疷SF鈥檚 employee unions鈥痶o provide鈥痶hese鈥痓enefits鈥痶o unionized鈥痚mployees in a timely manner.
I am grateful to our leaders and team members in Human Resources and Budget and Finance who are working tirelessly to bring these pay increases to fruition for our thousands of employees who greatly deserve them.鈥�
Announcing USF鈥檚 winter break holiday schedule
In recognition of our employees鈥� tireless contributions to the success of our university, I am pleased to announce that the proposed winter break holiday schedule has been approved to encompass Wednesday, Dec. 21, through Monday, Jan. 2, 2023.
