Initial Step Placement. The initial step placement shall reflect the number of years of experience for which credit is given on the salary schedule and will be determined at the college. Credit for teaching experience and/or relevant work experience, (as determined by the college president or designee), shall be granted on a one (1) for one (1) basis according to the full-time aggregate of experience. The aggregate sum of experience shall be rounded up to the next salary step. For example: 1.5 years of experience equals Step 02; 5.25 years of experience equals Step 06; 4.00 years of experience equals Step 05. Credit for military experience shall be granted only in cases where the faculty member leaves the college for military service and returns to the college after completion of the service and then shall be on a one (1) for one (1) basis. Credit for secondary (grades 7-12) and post-secondary teaching experience shall be granted regardless of the discipline area of teaching. Effective July 1, 2004, credit for elementary (grades K-6) teaching experience shall be granted for faculty hired in the areas of reading, child development, and education. Full-time appropriate teaching employment for one (1) academic year shall count as one (1) year of experience and all time worked may be counted, but in no instance can more than one (1) year of experience credit be earned in a fiscal year. A faculty member with one (1) year of relevant work experience shall be placed on the salary schedule at step two.
Initial Step Placement. When an employee is regularly appointed into a title covered by this Agreement or moves from one title covered by the Agreement to an appointment in a different title under this Agreement, shall be governed by Civil Service Rules.
Initial Step Placement. At the time of employment, each teacher will be placed on the highest num- bered step for which he/she qualifies in accordance with the column of the Teacher Salary Schedule entitled “Initial Placement”. Other relevant teaching experience may result in higher initial step placement as determined by the Chief Human Resources Officer.
Initial Step Placement. New temporary employees shall generally be appointed at the minimum step of the salary range established for the particular class of position to which the appointment is made. However, the appointing authority may fill a particular position at a step above the minimum of the range if mutually agreeable guidelines have been developed in advance or the Director of Human Resources (or designee) offers to meet confer with the Association on a case by case basis each time prior to formalizing the appointment.
Initial Step Placement. Teachers shall be given year-for-year credit for out-of-district teaching experience at the time of initial placement on the salary schedule. Teacher experience, for salary schedule placement purposes, shall include all experience in K-12 positions requiring a teaching credential.
Initial Step Placement. Initial step placement for faculty shall be based on verifiable education level and work or teaching experience. Full-time faculty shall be given credit on a year-for-year basis up to and including five (5) years at the time of initial placement on the salary schedule for previous relevant full-time work or teaching experience. After five years’ credit, by recommendation of the Superintendent/President, full-time faculty may be allowed one year of credit for two years of previous relevant full-time work or teaching experience up to and including four (4) additional years at the time of initial placement on the salary schedule. Adjunct faculty may be given credit on a year-for-year basis up to and including five (5) years at the time of initial placement on the salary schedule for previous relevant work or teaching experience.
Initial Step Placement. 10 Unit members may be given credit, on a year for year basis at the time of initial 11 placement on the salary schedule, for previous public school teaching experience which 12 occurred after receipt of a valid preliminary teaching credential. A year of previous 13 teaching credit will only be awarded if the teacher actually worked 137 days with the 14 same school district during said school year. Previous credit will only be awarded if the 15 previous teaching was within the authority of the credential after receipt of the credential. 16 No credit will be given for previous teaching occurring prior to the unit member being 17 credentialed, teaching which occurred outside the scope of the credential, or teaching 18 services rendered which are not ordinarily expected of a teacher with that credential. 19 Initial placement may be on any of Steps 1 through and including Step 11. For example:

A year of previous teaching credit 13 will only be awarded if the teacher actually worked 137 days with the same school 14 district during said school year.
