Initial Salary Placement

Professional Support Staff-up to 10% over the minimum for the range assigned. Consideration of salary offer above 10% must be requested by the Cabinet member and confirmed by District Human Resources.
 
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% 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% 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% if greater than the minimum.
 
Competition Salary Adjustments

  • Affects both administrators and professional support staff.
  • May be used throughout the year.
  • If an employee competes and wins a new position which has been advertised internally or externally, the initial salary offer may be negotiated between the hiring location/supervisor and the employee using the initial salary placement rules outlined above.
  • 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. This is not mandated, but optional, at the location cabinet member's discretion.
