Hogan heard you.
Effective November 1, 2022, all state employees will receive a 4.5% raise. Hogan announced this as part of an effort to recruit and retain state employees.
This is in addition to the COLAs previously agreed to for "non-represented employees," including an unspecified salary increment to be implemented in 2023.
Action Pays Off
MCEA members raise issues through meetings with management or grievances, many of which are caused by short staffing. This 4.5% COLA is just one of the actions employees have forced the governor to make to recruit and retain.
Stay Vigilant
Pay attention to your paychecks in November and December. If you do not receive the 4.5% raise that you are owed, we only have 30 days to file a grievance. Contact us as soon as possible if you do not receive your COLA.
Attention: University Employees
The University System of Maryland has not yet decided who will be "eligible" for the 4.5% raise. Obviously, we want to make sure ALL university employees receive the same raise as everyone else. If this doesn't happen, then we will need to mobilize to make sure it does. Be on the lookout for communications.
