or pay grades based on the types of duties assigned, skill requirements, responsibility, and market value.

Frequently Asked Questions

is a significant and sustained change in duties and responsibilities.
– The district will review job
classifications periodically to ensure that pay grade assignments are kept up-to-date with changing job descriptions.

Frequently Asked Questions
• How do I get a pay increase?– Every year, during the budget
process, the school board will determine the amount that can be spent for employee pay increases.
– That percent factor is applied to the midpoint rate of each pay range to calculate the pay raise at each grade level.
– This means that everyone in the same pay grade will receive the same dollar amount of increase.
Frequently Asked Questions
If you were an hourly employee in pay grade 3 earning $13.00/hour and your pay range had a midpoint of $13.36/hour, that rate would be the basis for your pay raise.
If the board approved a pay raise budget of 2 percent, your pay raise would look like this:
Your current hourly rate= $13.00
Your pay raise ($13.36 x 2 percent) = + .27
Your new hourly rate $13.27
