Common use of Doctorate Differential Clause in Contracts

Doctorate Differential. Employees paid on the Master Salary (G Table) Schedules 22G to 49G who hold a doctorate degree from a regionally accredited college or university are eligible for a doctorate degree differential. The differential for employees paid on annualized assignment bases will be prorated. To qualify, the employee must present an application for a degree differential (U-Form) and an official transcript from the college/university awarding the doctorate degree that verifies the effective date of the degree to the Certificated Administrative Assignments Unit. The doctorate differential will be effective at the beginning of the pay period following the date the required verification is submitted to the appropriate office and will continue as long as the employee is paid on the appropriate Master Salary Schedule. Once eligibility is established, additional application is not required.
