Buckle -- "Does anyone know what the new [ COLA roll-in ] rate will be."
-- Has not been published yet, at least not at the NRLCA home page. Too much national convention material to cover to worry about the COLA roll-in.
-- "D.B." is correct. With a 3+ year lead in, EAGAN had "computer glitches" that delayed COLA roll-in payments to some RCA's/RCR's for a few months.
-- With only 28 months to prepare this time, EAGAN may experience some "glitches" that could affect the August 2018 COLA roll-in for RCA's and RCR's.
-- The COLA rate will be rolled into RCA/RCR hourly rates during the first full pay period of August 2018. That would be PP17-2018. Covering 04 - 17 AUG 2018 and would be seen in pay checks on 24 AUG 2018 -- for those employees on the rolls prior to 11 AUG 2012.
-- The previous COLA roll-in was based upon $1830 COLA increases for the 2010-2015 contract period. And was worth 0.88 / hour. ( 1830 / 2080 = 0.8798 )
-- From what I could find, these are the COLA amounts for the ( shorter ) 2015-2018 contract period:
03 SEP 2016 = $21 / 04 MAR 2017 = $333 / 02 SEP 2017 = $270 / 03 MAR 2018 = $520 for a total of $1144, which divided by 2080 = 0.55 / hr.
