This section shall end on June 30, 2025 unless extended by the parties in writing. To assist in the recruitment of hard to fill positions, the district may allow up to 20 years of service credit for new hires. When the district designates a position as hard to fill and hires new employees with this incentive, current employees serving in, or transferring to, the identified position will be eligible for a salary adjustment if they were not previously credited with more than 10 years of experience when initially hired in SLCUSD. This salary adjustment will not be retroactive to original date of hire and will take effect in the school year for which the incentive was authorized. Employees will receive an email from Human Resources notifying them their current assignment was designated as Hard to Fill Position. Employees will work with the Human Resources Analyst to verify years of service credit.
