Take Action by February 28: SRA Change from Flat Dollar to Percentage
If you are enrolled in a Supplemental Retirement Annuity (SRA), you must take action by February 28 to change your flat dollar election to a percentage. Your change must be effective on March 1 in Workday to ensure a smooth transition. Many employees have already made this change—we thank you for acting quickly!
Please note the recent eblast with key updates and guidance to help you with this process. Reference the job aid for step-by-step instructions to make your change in Workday. You can also view the original memo and worksheet for more information. Although letters mailed to many employee homes had a conversion of current flat dollar amounts, we recommend using the worksheet to confirm the correct percentage based on the number of pay dates you plan to contribute (20 pays or 26 pays).
Attend Zoom Office Hours for assistance with completing your election via screen sharing in Workday (please come prepared with your percentage and ready to share your screen). Join Zoom to be placed in the waiting room on the following dates (same meeting link for all sessions):
- Thursday, February 20, 2025, 9–10 a.m. and 3–4 p.m.
- Friday, February 21, 2025, 9–10 a.m.
- Monday, February 24, 2025, 8–9 a.m. and 4–5 p.m.
- Wednesday, February 26, 2025, 9–10 a.m.
- Thursday, February 27, 2025, 3–4 p.m.
- Friday, February 28, 2025, 10–11 a.m.
