UPDATE: The 2023-2025 Wage Type spreadsheet has been updated. Please use this version rather than the one in the bulletin sent on 6/22/23. We have clarified some of the data definitions and corrected where the wage types are used. The changes are indicated in red.
Message sent 6/22/23 at 3:24 p.m.
HRMS will be updated to reflect Wage Type changes resulting from the 2023-2025 Collective Bargaining Cycle and Enacted Budgets effective July 1, 2023. Agency review and action is necessary.
As a result of bargained and funded compensation changes, new assignment pay references and premium pay wage types were added, existing wage types were updated (to account for changes in salary schedules or assignment pay title changes), and others were delimited. As a result of these changes, employee basic pay records may need to be updated.
The 2023-2025 Wage Types spreadsheet provides a list of the Wage Type changes and the corresponding wage type codes. New definitions, technical information, and agency actions are contained within the spreadsheet. Refer to 2023-2025 Collective Bargaining Agreements and/or Assignment Pay References for specifics.
Shift Premium and Supplemental Shift Premium for Nurse Increases
Shift premium and supplemental shift premium for nursing staff rates have increased. New wage types for increased rates were created and are available within the attached worksheet.
Wage type 1044 Shift Difference-all agys, will not be systematically updated. Agencies will be required to make updates to impacted employees.
A new wage type, 1937 Supplemental Shift Df has been created. Like wage type 1044, this wage type is specific to supplemental shift premium for nurses and will be paid on the basic pay infotype (0008).
Agencies who have used wage type 1044 and have a combination of both regular shift differential and supplemental shift differential will need to separate the shift premiums into 1044 and 1937, respectively.

Agencies may manually input employee changes in HRMS. If you have 30 or more of the same HRMS actions, you can submit a Winshuttle spreadsheet to the OFM Help Desk. Winshuttle spreadsheets must be submitted to HeretoHelp@ofm.wa.gov no later than Monday, July 17, 2023.
Winshuttle spreadsheets may be available for many of the updates to impacted infotypes. Refer to the Winshuttle page on the HRMS Support Hub for additional information and to obtain the applicable Winshuttle spreadsheet.
Agency Actions Required: Review the 2023-2025 Wage Types spreadsheet (attached). The spreadsheet identifies the changes that OFM will be implementing requiring wage type changes. OFM will ensure the wage types will be available in HRMS. Agencies must review the “Agency Responsibility” column and complete any required actions. If a Winshuttle spreadsheet is available, refer to the Winshuttle section of this communication for additional information.
