Overview and Rationale

The prolonged economic recession has created difficult circumstances for the Atlanta community, and our staff is no exception. Rising costs for transportation, healthcare, and other living expenses means employees are faced with tough circumstances.

Georgia Tech leadership believes it is important, to the degree possible, to mitigate these circumstances for those most financially challenged during these difficult times.  Offering support to these members of our community is the right thing to do. Therefore, President G.P. "Bud" Peterson has approved the second step of a
plan for a modest but necessary salary adjustment for full-time permanent classified staff who earn $40,000 or less per year.

Employees Affected

Important Dates

The adjustment became effective on April 1, 2012 for eligible employees.  Impacted employees should see a difference in their May 2012 paychecks.
