Salary Placement Errors. 1. If discovery of erroneous information causes the denial of a lateral salary advancement, a member shall have the option of being placed temporarily on the denied column if the District has given erroneous information to the member while working toward such an advancement. The temporary advancement will be allowed for a period not to exceed the then current school year. During this period the member must complete whatever coursework is required to make the salary placement proper. In the event the required coursework is not completed by the beginning of the next school year, the member will be moved back to the correct salary column and step, and must reimburse the District for any overpayment for the period of the temporary advancement. At the member’s option such reimbursement will be made in either a lump sum payment or by monthly payroll deductions not to exceed nine pay periods.
