WSNA has received countless reports of what RNs believe to be paycheck errors in the last 48 hours.

We are attempting to help get to the bottom of these concerns but we too are perplexed in many of the cases.

We have reached out to the employer to try and identify potential causes and are encouraging all RNs with concerns to reach out directly to the Director of Payroll Stephanie Howe at howes4@uw.edu.

Stephanie has asked that all RNs with concerns reach out to her directly.  When doing so, it is best to offer pay periods of concern and include number of hours worked each pay period so that she can look them up and then respond using those pay periods as a reference.

It is also important to ask her any questions you may have about how your pay stubs are coded.

No, your hourly rate of pay should not have gone down.  As a matter of fact, you should have seen a raise of 4% as of December 1^st of 2025.

No, your annual salary should not have gone down either.

No, daily Overtime has not gone away.  When an RN works more than their scheduled shift on any given day, they will be paid overtime.  Daily OT does not require that you work in excess of 40 hours in a week.

There has been a lot of misleading and false information being passed along by various managers and Ops Supervisors, but we have been working hard to set the record straight.
