The UWHR Compensation office and the Workday HRP Application Management team will centrally manage the increases for impacted employees. Employees will see the increase on their 7/24/26 paychecks.

Note: Employee movements (new hires, reclassifications, R&Rs, CEGP, FTE changes, and transfers) that have been processed prior to 7/1 but are effective on or after 7/1 will show the pre-7/1 rates in Workday. These discrepancies will be caught in pay period audits and will be corrected by WMS/Application Management to reflect the 7/1 increases.
