3 WEATHERFORD INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT PAY GUIDELINES PURPOSE This is a guide for administering salaries and wages for employees of the Weatherford Independent School District. Practices described are intended to implement local Board policy and goals, state and federal regulations, and appropriate accreditation standards. JOB CLASSIFICATION District jobs are assigned to pay grades based upon compensable factors and grouped with jobs of similar value. On a periodic basis, selected jobs from each job family will be reviewed to ensure that conditions in the district, such as organizational structure, major programs, or significant responsibilities in a particular job, have not changed to a degree warranting a change in job grade classification. This review is to be at the direction of the Superintendent or designees, who shall be the Deputy Superintendent for Administrative Services or the Executive Director of Human Resources. Options for conducting the review include, but are not limited to, an executive level administrative review panel, outside consultant, or trained district salary administrator. Newly established jobs are analyzed, job descriptions written, and pay grade assignments are determined prior to hiring personnel for the position. This procedure accomplishes three objectives. First, the job description establishes the responsibilities and duties required to ensure the position is properly classified and in the proper pay grade. Second, the appropriate pay range becomes part of the recruitment and hiring strategy of the district. Third, a consistent practice of salary administration is established at the initiation of each job. SALARY ADVANCEMENTS Regular or general salary advancement is considered annually by the Board of Trustees. General pay increase recommendations presented to the Board of Trustees by the administration shall be based on consideration of such factors as cost of living indexes, wage increases within competitive job markets, and budget resources. PAY GRADES 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. The job rate or grade midpoint is the chief control point in the system. A minimum and maximum pay rate for each grade is computed from the midpoint using technical standards that are designed to maintain pay equity or fair pay for each job in the system of jobs. Page 3

4 Employees shall be assigned to a pay grade and paid a salary rate between the minimum and maximum (inclusive). Minimum and maximum pay rates are valid for only one year. No general pay action is intended to extend an employee s pay above the pay range or add pay to an employee s pay already paid above the assigned range maximum. Annualized Salary: If the Employee will work on a less-than-12-month basis, the Employee s salary will be paid on an annualized basis. The District will make deductions from each paycheck for income tax withholding and benefits. INITIAL EMPLOYMENT Employment, assignment, and salary placement should be in accordance with the job requirements as specified in the job description. Where job requirements include transcripts, certificates, or licenses, these must be official and on file with the district. A Texas educator service record or chronology of prior work history (if previously employed full time) is necessary. Salary placement will be at the direction of the Superintendent or designees who shall be the Deputy Superintendent for Administrative Services and the Executive Director of Human Resources. The personnel office shall determine hiring rates based upon job-related qualifications, previous experience and salaries of other employees in the same position. Advertisements for positions typically will identify the pay grade for the position. Salary placement strategies may be different for each employee group consistent with the attainment of district goals. Administrators/Non-Teaching Professional Employees. The Superintendent or designees who shall be the Deputy Superintendent for Administrative Services and the Executive Director of Human Resources shall individually set hiring rates for new administrators/non-teaching professional employees under the following guidelines. 1. Pay rates will be set based upon prior experience and job-related qualifications. 2. New administrators/non-teaching professional employees shall normally not be started at a rate above the salary of other district employees with more experience in the job. Auxiliary/Educational Assistants. The Superintendent or designees who shall be the Assistant Superintendent for Administrative Services, the Executive Director of Human Resources and the Human Resource Specialist shall individually set hiring rates for new auxiliary employees under the following guidelines. 1. Pay rates will be set based upon prior experience and job-related qualifications. 2. New auxiliary/educational assistants shall normally not be started at a rate above the hourly rate of other district employees with more experience in the job. Instructional Personnel. The Superintendent or designees who shall be the Deputy Superintendent for Administrative Services and the Executive Director of Human Resources shall annually develop a hiring schedule for new classroom teachers. The hiring schedule will reflect the hiring objectives of the district. The hiring schedule will not place new teachers above salary levels of continuing teachers with similar years of experience or training. Page 4

5 The Superintendent or designees who shall be the Deputy Superintendent for Administrative Services and the Executive Director of Human Resources may approve hiring rates up to or above the midpoint of the range when an applicant has exceptional job qualifications or the position cannot otherwise be filled. PROMOTION For compensation purposes, a promotion occurs when an employee is placed in a higher pay grade except for general pay structure changes or position reclassification. The effective date of the promotion is determined by the Superintendent or designees, who shall be the Deputy Superintendent for Administrative Services and the Executive Director of Human Resources. The new salary rate shall be figured based on years of experience and qualifications for the new position. 1. The basis for computing a promotion increase shall be the employee s previous base pay rate, exclusive of stipends or supplements, and years of experience with the District. 2. If promotion increase does not advance employee to new grade minimum, adjust promoted employee s pay to at least the range minimum. 3. The district can, if necessary, exceed the promotion increase in order to keep at the current market value. 4. The adjusted salary for newly promoted employees shall normally not be started at a rate above the salary of other district employees with more experience in the job. Increases are calculated on a monthly or hourly rate of pay. Increases over 30 percent in total pay must be approved by the Superintendent or designees, which shall be the Deputy Superintendent for Administrative Services and the Executive Director of Human Resources. RECLASSIFICATION On a periodic basis jobs may be reclassified into a different pay grade or salaries may be adjusted within pay grades in order to maintain the internal/external equity to other jobs of similar worth in the district. Reclassification of a job is not a promotion or demotion. Reclassification changes result when there has been a significant modification of job duties or qualifications as determined by the school district. If an employee s job is reclassified, no special increase has to be given unless the employee is below the minimum for the new pay grade or the current job incumbent s pay rate is in an inequitable position in comparison to comparable jobs. These job reclassifications and salary adjustments may be conducted at the direction and approval of the Superintendent or designees, which shall be the Deputy Superintendent for Administrative Services and the Executive Director of Human Resources. DEMOTION For compensation purposes, a demotion occurs when an employee is placed in a lower pay grade except for general salary structure changes or position reclassification. At the direction of the Superintendent or designees, which shall be the Deputy Superintendent for Administrative Services and the Executive Director of Human Resources, an employee s pay rate may be reduced. Page 5

6 REASSIGNMENT Placement in a lower pay grade not resulting from a demotion may not immediately reduce salary. Programmatic, organizational, or funding changes are examples of such actions which may create this condition. These guidelines apply: 1. If an employee s rate is within the pay range of the reassigned pay grade, then salary advancement will be the same as others in the same pay grade. 2. If an employee s rate is greater than the maximum of the lower pay grade, then the employee s salary may be frozen until such time as the lower pay grade range includes the employee s salary. When the rate is recaptured, the salary increases may be granted in accordance with normal practice. SALARY RANGES Annual salary ranges should be reviewed and recomputed to include updated economic information. Sources for making this determination include consumer price increases, chamber of commerce business changes, university reports, government statistics, and reputable economic periodicals. Adjustments to the salary structure are independent of individual pay actions. Once the adjusting percent is discerned, this value should be applied to all job grade control points. The structure should be adjusted prior to computing new salary or wage increases. Page 6
