Salary Placement Based on Job Evaluation
 
Administrators-only available for implementation on September 1. Promotion increase (when individual is recommended for assignment to a new band) is 7 percent or the new minimum, whichever is greater.
 
Professional Support Staff-available for implementation throughout the year. When an individual is recommended for assignment to a new range or salary schedule the salary adjustment is 7 percent or the new minimum, whichever is greater, for the newly created position. If the recommendation moves the employee to an existing position in a higher range the cabinet member may request a management decision adjustment of 7 percent if greater than the minimum.
 
Competition Salary Adjustments

  • May be used throughout the year.

  • The home location cabinet member may match another District salary offer, as long as it fits within the range assigned to the position held, as needed, in order to encourage the employee to remain at the current location.
