Preparing for Change: Access key information and financial planning resources to help you prepare for the upcoming pay frequency adjustment, effective January 2026.

Introduction

Beginning January 2026, both hourly and salaried employees in the US will transition to a new pay frequency. Only small pockets of hourly/non-exempt employees are excluded from the changes due to state laws or existing contractual language. We understand that changes to your pay schedule bring questions and uncertainty. Our goal is to make this shift as smooth as possible and to support you every step of the way.

To help you plan and adjust, we’ve put together a range of financial wellness resources, including budgeting guides, helpful videos, and tips for managing your money during the transition. We’re here for you, and we encourage you to explore these tools and reach out with any questions or concerns.

To help you navigate the upcoming pay frequency change, we’re offering a variety of workshops and webinars, both onsite and online. These sessions are designed to answer your questions, provide financial planning tips, and ensure you feel confident and prepared. Flexible times will be available to fit your schedule.
