Latest word is that lump-sum bonuses for Journal Sentinel bargaining-unit members will show up on the March 30 paychecks. These bonuses, averaging 1% of 2004 wages, are being handed out in lieu of 2005 discretionary raises. Before your bonus appears on your check, your supervisor should give you a sheet explaining how the bonus was calculated. Contact a Guild representative if you don’t get this explanation within the next week or two.
