Kaiser Permanente Washington
Bargaining Update - Implementation Dates

All across-the-board (ATB) increases for KPWA workers should appear on the June 19, 2026 paycheck. The ATB increases and wage scale adjustments are being implemented as agreed in the Memorandum of Understanding from March 9, 2026, which stated that implementation may take up to 120 days. While Kaiser is making every effort to include market adjustments on the June 18 check, some more complex changes will require more time and will appear on the July 17 check.

All KPWA Units:

  • ATB check date: June 19, 2026

  • Other Wage Adjustments check date: June 19, 2026

Retro pay will be calculated according to the Memorandum of Understanding. It states that ATBs and wage scale adjustments will be effective the first pay period after a complete comprehensive package containing all bargained terms (including any MOUs) was tentatively agreed to by the parties. The first pay period after the March 9, 2026 tentative agreement began March 22, 2026. Retro pay will be paid effective back to that date as soon as administratively possible—typically two to three pay periods following the initial ATB wage scale adjustment check.
