Compensation FAQs

How will my general pay increase be calculated?

All staff (except teachers/librarians/nurses/instructional coaches) can calculate their general pay increase by multiplying the approved percentage by their assigned pay grade midpoint rate:

To determine your new pay rate you will need to know your 2024-2025 pay rate found in Skyward and you will need to locate your pay grade and midpoint on the compensation plan.

For example:

Bus Driver

- My 2024-2025 hourly rate was $20.00.
- This is located in Auxiliary pay grade 6 and the midpoint is $25.02 per hour.
- Multiply $25.02 X 7%. This is an increase of $1.75/per hour.
- Add $1.75 to your 2024-2025 hourly rate of $20.00.
- Your new hourly rate for 2025-2026 will be $21.75/per hour.

Calculating a teacher/librarian general pay increase:

All teacher salary schedules are listed under the teacher salary schedule. Librarians, Nurses, Instructional Coaches and Facilitators are located under the "Other Professionals" salary schedule.

What is a pay grade?

Pay grades represent the internal job classification as well as external job market pay levels. The greater the level of compensable factors present in a job, the higher the placement in the pay grade structure. Jobs with similar overall degrees of compensable factors will be in the same pay grade. The use of pay grade levels facilitates payroll administration and maintains the integrity of the job worth hierarchy. The pay grade midpoint is the chief control point in the system.

A minimum and maximum pay rate for each grade is computed from the midpoint to maintain pay equity or fair pay for each job in the system.

How do I reach the midpoint of a pay grade?

Salary is determined based on years of job-related work experience. Employees move within the pay grade through general pay increases.

Do I receive additional earnings for a college degree?

Teachers who earn a master's degree or higher are eligible for additional compensation.

How do I calculate what I'll earn each month if I am an hourly employee paid monthly over 12 months (ex. Instructional Partner)?

Hourly rate X Number of hours per day = Daily rate
Daily rate X Number of service calendar days = Annualized amount
Annualized amount / 12 = Monthly amount
