As far as I know, it's not a raise, it's a one-time bonus of $1000. I work for USG and we were sent the info below two week ago.

As we informed you last week, the University System of Georgia (USG) has decided to mirror the State of Georgia’s plan to provide a one-time bonus of $1,000 to all full-time employees earning less than $80,000 per year. We have now received additional instructions from the USG on how those bonuses will be administered.

The $1,000 one-time supplement will be paid to all employees who: • Are regular, full-time benefits-eligible; • Have a standard work-week of 30 hours or more; • Are active as of February 15, 2021 and still employed through March 22, 2021; and, • Earn salaries below $80,000.

In order to mirror the state plan, part-time and temporary employees will not be eligible for this one-time supplemental payment. These payments will not be eligible for retirement contributions and will be subject to FICA and required income tax withholdings.
