Honoring Our Veterans and Military Families

Image 19

On this Veterans Day, we pause to honor and thank those among us who have served in the United States Armed Forces, as well as the families who have supported them. Your courage, dedication, and sacrifices—both in service and at home—embody the highest values of commitment and selflessness.

We are deeply grateful for the strength, leadership, and perspective you bring to the workplace every day. Your service has made a lasting impact on our country and continues to inspire us.

Thank you for your contributions, your resilience, and your example. Today and every day, we honor you.

Good News – 2% Contractual Pay Increases Take Effect This Month!

We’re happy to announce that your 2% contractual pay increase takes effect with the November 10–23 pay period (First full pay period on or after November 1, 2025), and you’ll see it reflected in your November 28 paycheck!

Thank you for the energy, talent, and dedication you bring every day. This increase is a well-earned recognition of your valuable contributions—congratulations!

Be sure to look for this change on the November 28 paycheck (not November 14).
