What tools or resources will be made available to employees to help with the transition?
Because some employees may need to adjust bill payment (e.g. car payments, child support) dates, the same salary advance program used for the pilot sites in Phase I will be available for this Phase II change as well. A salary advance is available to salaried employees (benefited and GTAs, GRAs and GSAs) impacted by the lag. The salary advance provides funds up to one-half of one month’s gross salary to be repaid over a maximum of a twelve-month period. Employees will be sent information regarding this advance and how they can request one. Employees who do not request an advance, in writing, will not receive the advance.
