<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>The
special wage increase for lower-paid employees (non-represented staff and
academic employees) announced in late February, will not be processed in time
to be included in the payroll checks for May 1<sup>st</sup>. We anticipate
that the special wage increase will be reflected on the July 2007 payroll
checks, along with two months of retroactive pay to accurately reflect the
April 1, 2007 effective date. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>As
previously communicated, special wage increases will be given automatically to
non-represented Staff and Academic employees, effective April 1, as follows*: </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>-- Employees
earning less than $30,000 per year will receive a 2% salary increase;<br>
-- Employees earning at least $30,000 but less than $35,000 per year will
receive a 1% salary increase;<br>
-- Employees earning at least $35,000 but less than $40,000 per year will
receive a 0.5% salary increase.<br>
<br>
*Salary increases will be determined on the basis of an employee’s
full-time equivalent annualized base salary, which is a measure of base salary
assuming a 100% appointment. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;

their full-time equivalent annualized base salary should contact their
