Annual Compensation Increase & FY27 Key Dates

Annual Compensation Increase & FY27 Key Dates

June 5, 2026

The end of the fiscal year is fast approaching, which means a few important dates and reminders for pay and benefits.

Here's what to know as we transition into FY27.

Compensation Update
Eligible employees outside the CAUSE bargaining unit will receive a 3% compensation increase for FY27. Salary increases are applied in the first full pay period of the fiscal year. This year, that pay period is July 12-25, with changes reflected in the August 7, 2026 paycheck.

• Employees on the salary grid will receive a three-step increase as part of their scheduled progression.
• Employees at step 0, or at step 53 or higher, will receive a 3% base salary increase and be placed at step 0 if not already there
• Employees not on the salary grid will also receive a 3% base salary increase

Pay & Benefits Dates and Deadlines

Last pay period to use FY26 personal holiday leave. Personal holiday leave cannot be used during the pay period in which July 1 occurs.

June 28
FY27 benefit premiums begin. Premium changes will be reflected in the July 24 paycheck.
