Salary Placement Entry-level placement on the salary schedule shall be at the lowest step of the schedule for the classification or at the hourly rate established for the classification, unless the District authorizes hiring at a higher rate.
Salary on Demotion Whenever an employee demotes to a job classification in a lower range that has a salary rate the same as the previous salary step, the employee’s salary shall be maintained at that step in the lower range. Whenever an employee demotes to a job classification in a salary range which does not have corresponding salary steps with the employee’s previous salary but is within the new salary range, the employee’s salary shall be maintained at the current rate until the next eligibility date. At the employee’s next eligibility date, if qualified, the employee shall be granted a salary rate increase of one (1) full step within the new salary range plus that amount that their current salary rate is below the next higher rate in the salary range. This increase shall not exceed the highest rate in the new salary range. Whenever employees demote to a job classification in a lower range, but their previous salary is above the highest step for that range, the employee shall be paid at the highest step in the new salary range. This Section shall not apply to demotions resulting from official disciplinary actions.
Placement on Salary Schedule The following rules shall be applicable in determining placement of a teacher on the appropriate salary schedule:
Initial Salary Placement Step Upon initial employment by the District, child Development Teachers and Family Services Leads shall be given up to 7 years of credit for prior experience in a full-time teaching position with a State or Federally funded program, where the number of days worked in any given school year were in excess of 135. Step 8 is the maximum entry level placement.
Salary Rate on Demotion When an employee is demoted the employee shall receive the rate for the position if a single salary. If a salary range is established, the maximum reduction shall be the closest step to 8%, but where the differential between the employee's salary before demotion and the maximum salary of the lower position is greater than 8%, the new salary shall be the maximum of the new position.
Advancement on Salary Schedule A worker will advance to the next step of the salary schedule on the first of the calendar month following the completion of the first six months of service, provided that he/she has received from the supervising manager a “good solid performance” rating. If the worker's supervising manager has not completed the evaluation and given a copy to the worker by the date when the worker is scheduled to receive the step increase, the increase shall be granted automatically. A classified hourly employee will advance to the second step of the salary schedule on the first of the calendar month following the completion of one year of service provided that he/she has received from the supervising manager a “good solid performance” rating. If the employee’s supervising manager has not completed the evaluation and given a copy to the employee by the date when the employee is scheduled to receive the step increase, the increase shall be granted automatically. A worker's first month of service will be the month during which he/she begins work providing he/she renders service before the 11th of the month. In all other cases, the worker's first month of service will be the calendar month following the date on which he/she begins work. A worker will advance to subsequent steps as he/she completes an additional year of service with a satisfactory rating on the annual evaluation. A classified hourly employee will advance to subsequent steps as he/she completes an additional two years of service with a satisfactory rating on the bi-annual evaluation. A year for 12-month workers is 12 months; for 11-month workers, 11 months; for 10-month workers, 10 months; for academic- day workers, the academic year. However, if the worker's supervising manager does not complete the annual evaluation and give a copy to the worker by the date the worker is scheduled to receive the step increase, the increase shall be granted automatically. A worker's anniversary date for salary increments shall be the anniversary of his/her first month of service after completing six months in a class. The anniversary date for a classified hourly employee shall be the date of hire in the classified hourly position. Any month during the worker's work year during which he/she is not in paid status will not count toward the anniversary date and will advance it by one month. A worker who demonstrates exceptional ability and diligence as a worker of the District may be given double advancement on recommendation of the supervising manager and with approval of the Director of Human Resources, the President, or the Chancellor.
Payment on Death If an employee dies who was entitled to accumulated annual leave under the provisions of this Article, the heirs of such deceased employee shall be paid an amount of money equal to the number of unused hours of annual leave earned or accrued multiplied by the hourly rate of such deceased employee.
