Retirement Incentive a) If an employee gives the Board an irrevocable notice of retirement by February 1st four (4) years prior to the school year of retirement, the Board shall pay him/her a six percent (6%) retirement incentive, inclusive of all other increases in TRS creditable compensation, for each of his/her remaining four (4) years of service. If an employee gives the Board an irrevocable notice of retirement by February 1st three (3) years prior to the school year of retirement, the Board shall pay him/her a six percent (6%) retirement incentive, inclusive of all other increases in TRS creditable compensation, for each of his/her remaining three (3) years of service. If an employee gives the Board an irrevocable notice of retirement by February 1st two (2) years prior to the school year of retirement, the Board shall pay him/her a six percent (6%) retirement incentive, inclusive of all other increases in TRS creditable compensation, for each of his/her remaining two (2) years of service. If an employee gives the Board an irrevocable notice of retirement by February 1st one (1) year prior to the school year of retirement, the Board shall pay him/her a six percent (6%) retirement incentive, inclusive of all other increases in TRS creditable compensation, for his/her remaining year of service. Once an employee submits an irrevocable notice of retirement by February 1st, that employee shall be removed from the salary schedule contained in Article IX of this Agreement at the beginning of the following school year. All calculations for increased TRS creditable earnings will be based on the TRS creditable earnings in the year of the submission of the irrevocable notice of retirement. Once the employee submits an irrevocable notice of retirement an employee’s creditable earnings shall be increased by six percent (6%) of the year of submission, but in no case will the employee’s TRS creditable earnings increase exceed six percent (6%) of the year of submission. If, after submitting an irrevocable notice of retirement by February 1st, the employee resigns from, or is dismissed from duties for which the employee was paid a stipend or additional compensation the previous year, the retirement incentive for that employee will be recalculated accordingly.

Early Retirement Incentive The Employer may offer to any faculty member or a faculty member may apply for one of the early retirement incentive alternatives described herein, provided the faculty member meets the following criteria. The Union shall be advised in writing of any offer of early retirement made to a faculty member.
EDUCATIONAL INCENTIVES As part of the District’s commitment to enhance the knowledge, skills, abilities and opportunities for promotion of its classified employees, the District offers the following programs:
Educational Incentive Pay Effective January 1, 2022, the current Education Incentive Differential (EID) rates from the pre-existing salary schedules shall be eliminated and, in their place, the following Educational Incentive Pay program will be applied. The salary schedules contained in Addendum B reflect the new Educational Incentive pay allowances. Upon successful completion of field training and promotion to the rank of Police Officer, an officer who has received or obtains one of the degrees set forth below from an accredited college or university shall receive an annual incentive allowance added to their hourly rate, as follows: • $1,500 for associate’s degree ($0.723/hour) • $3,000 for bachelor’s degree ($1.446/hour) • $4,500 for master’s degree and above ($2.169/hour) Educational incentives are not cumulative, but rather the employee will be entitled to the highest incentive based on the degree(s) obtained. In the event an employee obtains a new or higher degree during employment, the employee will submit to the Department proof of degree attainment. Upon verification and approval by the Department, within thirty (30) days of submission, the employee’s pay will be adjusted effective on the first day of the pay period following the date of submission by the employee. Any current employee with an EID classification will be adjusted to the non-EID rate, but will receive the annual incentive allowance as part of their hourly rate, spread over twenty-six (26) pay periods. The hourly rate will be calculated by dividing the annual educational incentive by 2,074 hours. Educational incentive pay will be included in the regular rate for overtime purposes. In addition, it will be counted as part of the employee’s annual salary for pension purposes, consistent with the prevailing Fire & Police Employees Retirement System regulations, and reflected on the salary schedules.
Educational Incentive For those employees receiving educational incentive payment at the time of layoff, upon re-employment, such employees shall be eligible to receive educational incentive.
Educational Incentive Program 15.2.1 A regular monthly classified unit member covered by this Agreement shall be granted a one-step increase (up to a step maximum of step G for Office/Technical unit members) on the first (1st) of the month following verification of satisfactory completion (grade of “C” or above) of twelve (12) semester units of credit from an accredited institution. Courses must have been enrolled in and credits must have been earned subsequent to the unit member's employment with the District. Official transcripts verifying a grade of “C” or above will be considered proof of satisfactory completion, in addition to the Educational Incentive Program Request for Salary Advancement Form, shall be provided by the eligible unit member and forwarded to the Office of Human Resources. Units of credit obtained prior to promotion must be applied toward step movement within sixty (60) calendar days of effective promotion date. The unit member shall ensure that the Compensation department is aware of these additional credits within this sixty (60) day period.
RETIREMENT INCOME PLAN 18.01 The Nursing Homes and Related Industries Pension Plan In this Article, the terms used shall have the meanings as described:
