Temporary employees are not eligible.&nbsp;<br><br>As approved by the Colorado legislature, classified staff employees will receive a three percent across-the-board base-building merit increase effective July 1, 2021, instead of the one-time, non-base building payment.\u202f&nbsp;<br><br><strong>What does \u201cnon-base building\u201d mean?&nbsp;<\/strong><br><br>\u201cNon-base building\u201d means the pay increase is temporary or one-time and does not add to the employee\u2019s continuing regular salary rate. An increase that raises an employee\u2019s continuing\/ongoing salary is considered a \u201cbase-pay\u201d increase. A non-base building pay increase has an end date. In this case, it is a one-time payment.\u202f&nbsp;<br><br><strong>How is this one-time payment calculated?\u202f&nbsp;<\/strong><br><br>The one-time payment is based on the employee\u2019s regular salary rate as of June 30, 2021.&nbsp;<br><br>The one-time payment covers the six-month gap between the previous July 1 merit date and the new Jan. 1 merit date. This results in a payment for the employee equivalent to 1 percent of their annual academic year contract or 12-month salary (equivalent to 2 percent&nbsp;of half the annual compensation). This does not include summer appointments or other administrative\/academic appointments for academic faculty. Only the academic year, or 12-month (for faculty with 12-month appointments) base salary for faculty will be considered in the calculation. If you are on an irregular appointment, please contact HR for specific information.&nbsp;<br><br><strong>When will I receive the one-time, base-building increase?\u202f&nbsp;<\/strong><br><br>The one-time, non-base building payment to eligible faculty, research faculty, and university staff employees will be included on the July 30, 2021 paycheck.\u202f&nbsp;<br><br>Thank you for everything you do to make UCCS great.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sincerely,<br>Venkat Reddy, Chancellor<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>UCCS is providing for this fiscal year only a one-time, non-base building payment to eligible faculty and university staff employees. <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/?p=132483\" title=\"Chancellor Reddy: One-Time, Non-Base Building Payment\">(More)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":128349,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1,49,21,417],"tags":[331,62,51,360],"class_list":["post-132483","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-all","category-campus-announcements","category-memo-from-the-chancellor","category-strategic-plan","tag-campus-announcements","tag-chancellors-office","tag-featured","tag-sp-deliberate-investment"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/2020-05-IMG_0028-1-scaled.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1mBpJ-ysP","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132483","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/18"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=132483"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132483\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":132487,"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132483\/revisions\/132487"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/128349"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=132483"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=132483"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=132483"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
