Bargaining
As I reported at the last Faculty Senate meeting, departmental merit and dean’s merit were implemented November 7 and reflected in your November 26 paycheck. You should also see a bonus in your December 12 paycheck that is the difference between the start of our contracts August 8 and the day the $1500 performance increases were implemented in October. We are hoping to begin bargaining the implementation of market equity in January, but we should know more after next week’s consultation.

Bargaining
Good news: the departmental merit and dean’s merit that we negotiated have been implemented as of November 7. You should see this in your next paycheck.
Since the Faculty Senate last met, we had a very informative meeting with Bob Bradley, who was tasked with updating the market equity study that was done in 2007. Perhaps it’s no surprise to many of you: Lack of market equity at the associate and full professor levels is extremely problematic. His insights will be very useful for negotiations regarding market equity, which we hope will commence soon.

Implementation of the CBA
The implementation of raises has begun!
The $1,500 performance-based increase for faculty with an overall annual evaluation of at least “meets FSU’s high expectations” on their 2014 performance evaluations will appear in Friday’s paycheck. As a reminder, a lump sum distribution to make up the difference between the August 8 start of the academic year and the actual implementation of the increase will appear in our Dec. 12 paychecks.
