Support staff employees who obtain 36 college credits will receive a $250.00 increase in their base salary. When the same employee obtains an additional 37 college credits for a total of 73 college credits, the employee will receive another $250.00 increase to his/her base salary. When the same employee obtains an Associate Degree or its equivalent, the employees will receive a $400.00 increase to his/her salary. 2. To receive the bonus to the base salary all coursework, training, workshop, etc. must be pre-approved by the supervisor as being related to the employee’s current position and considered “advanced” professional development, not education/training that is required for an employee to maintain job performance. Continuing education that is required to maintain performance of duties is not considered as “advanced” professional development and does not count towards the increase to an employee’s base salary. 3. College courses will carry the pre-determined credit hours. Seminars, workshops, and other training courses that do not have “credit” attached will have their credit equivalency determined by Human Resources using the Ohio Board of Regents guidelines. Documentation from the organization conducting the training that specifically states the course objectives, content, contact hours and outside assignments, will be required so that the credit equivalency can be determined. Any employee who does not submit the proper documentation will not receive credit for the training. 4. This system will not be retroactive. College credits earned prior to the effective date of May 11, 1998, that are documented on an official college transcript, will not be compensated, but will be counted towards the next appropriate level of credits required for an increase to the employee’s base salary. 5. The employee must have obtained a minimum grade of C- in any course where letter grades are given or a 2.0 or a 4.0 scale or its equivalent where numerical grades are given. If only “pass/fail,” “satisfactory/unsatisfactory” or “complete/incomplete” is given, the employee must receive the grades required for the granting of course credit by the offering institution. In cases of training conducted through a seminar, workshop, etc. where participants do not receive any of the aforementioned marks, it will be necessary to submit a certificate of completion or a signed statement from the institution or agency which conducted the training stating that the employee completed the program. 6. Professional development plans outlined by the Bargaining Unit employee may be attached to his/her performance appraisal form. It is understood that the “plan” is voluntary in nature and a decision to discontinue the course work or unsatisfactory progress shall not impact negatively on the employee’s evaluation.
