Was this the year they planned to pay us for June on July 1 instead of June 30? I recall something last year that it was budget trick to further balance the 2025 budget (only 11 paychecks vs the normal 12).
Or did I imagine that?
Also..the side letter is still confusing as hell to me. Did we (BU1) give up a raise on July 1, 2026 this year?
My state department has individual Centers that oversee Divisions. Today, we were emailed by our Center that effective June 15th, everyone was required to work a 8-5 schedule in office M-TH and telework the same hours on Fridays.
Anyone else know of or deal with this? Does is not have to be a Department wide rule to be enforced? I know section 19.8 in the SEIU contract talks about alternate schedules, but my Center is denying all requests. It also appears that my Center is the only one doing this fixed schedule for all employees thing.
25+ year state employee here and I've never seen this before.
