For years in which RISD funds a salary increase for non-bargaining unit staff, increases typically take effect on July 1, the first day of the new fiscal year. Increases are prorated based on the staff member’s hire, rehire, or transfer date into an eligible position during the prior fiscal year, as outlined below:
- Hired between July 1 and December 30
Eligible for the full increase - Hired between January 1 and March 31
Eligible for a 50% prorated increase - Hired between April 1 and June 30
Not eligible until the following fiscal year
* Staff in bargaining unit positions should refer to their contracts for pay increase information.
