|
| The university is excited to announce that salary increase letters for benefit eligible faculty and staff will be distributed electronically in Workday on Friday, June 6 by the close of business. Salary increases are effective July 1, 2025. Employees will be able to access their statement via the Compensation Review Statement link located on the homepage in Workday Announcements.
