HRMS and State HR Systems will be updated to reflect the General Wage Increase, Targeted Job Classification, and other compensation changes resulting from the Collective Bargaining Agreements and budget bills as passed legislature effective July 1, 2025. Each change will be treated as it has been in years past where OFM will automate as much as possible. Automatic updates will be made by OFM prior to the last week of June 2025. Agencies do not need to act on these items at this time. Additional communications with resources and actions needed will be sent in June and July. Agencies with agency unique changes will be contacted directly to discuss and coordinate changes within HRMS.
General Wage Increase
For indirectly valued employees, the salary schedules will be updated automatically. For
directly valued employees, OFM will send agencies a spreadsheet of impacted employees for agencies to review and edit in the first week of June. OFM will then update the employees’ Basic Pay (0008) infotype records effective July 1, 2025, with the general wage increases. OFM will email the final list of employees who had their records automatically updated and include a list of any that weren’t successfully updated that may require agency resolution.
Targeted Job Classification Changes
For impacted agencies only, when possible, targeted Job Classification updates will create
new planned compensation records for job classifications, positions, and new basic pay
records for employees. OFM will send agencies a list of affected positions for validation. A list of job classifications impacted by targeted job classifications is attached. Job
classifications must still be adopted in the June Director’s Meeting.
Agencies must review the preliminary targeted job classification updates spreadsheet (attached) and identify the job classifications your agency uses. In particular, identify all of your positions requiring reallocation based upon the new or updated job classification specifications. Review the allocating criteria to determine correct placement into a general service job classification. All reallocations into newly created, updated, or as a result of an abolished job classification will need to be manually updated by the agencies and entered into HRMS in time for the July 25, 2025, pay date.
Assignment and Premium Pays
The list of assignment and premium pays will come out in separate communication.
When possible, assignment and premium pay updates will create new basic pay records.
Existing wage types are being modified, and new wage types are being created for
payments. Additional communications, including details of all wage type changes, will be
sent as details are finalized. A list of assignment and premium pay changes, to include new absence types, as necessary will be forwarded in a later communication. We anticipate it being completed in the next week or shortly thereafter.
Changes must still be adopted in the June 23, 2025, Director’s Meeting.
