We've received calls about the contractual raise we received yesterday. Below is an example from a pay statement to show the actual breakdown.
PAY PERIOD AMOUNTS
Description Hours Amount
R Regular Pay 80.00 1,802.40
R Base Pay 80.00- 1,802.40-
C Base Pay 80.00 1,806.16
C Longevity (LOS) 80.00 24.00
C CC/Insp Prem 80.00 167.20
R Shift 2-TWU 80.00 0.80
Subtract the R Base Pay line from C Base Pay line. 1806.16 -1802.40 3.76 Divide that number by 8 and it should equal .47. (The amount of our structural raise).
What does all this math mean? Simply put. The company paid us the new structural rate (.47) for one day. The date of the raise we received an additional $3.76 for that day only. Many of us can remember a time when a structural raise fell in ANY pay period we were given the raise for the entire pay period. Not anymore. They have met the absolute minimum contractual obligation at a time the company is making ridiculous profits. If you have any questions, please call the office and speak to an Officer.
