Welcome back, educators!
With the first paychecks of the 2019-20 school year going out today, we wanted to to remind you about some changes to our compensation system and share helpful resources.
Note what has changed this year:
- ProComp incentives will now be paid in equal installments on each of the 24 paychecks you receive in the 2019-20 school year.
- We no longer have a monthly Highest Priority incentive. If you are returning to a Highest Priority school, you will receive a $3,000 lump sum retention incentive on your Oct. 7 paycheck.
- The Hard to Serve incentive has been replaced by a $2,000 Title I incentive, which you will receive in the amount of $83.33 per paycheck, prorated depending on whether you are a full-time or part-time employee. Note: on your pay stub, you may see "Title I Retro." This is not a retro payment; it is your first payment for the new school year.
- If you receive a Hard to Staff incentive, you should see "HSTAFF" on your pay stub. You will receive this incentive in the amount of $83.33 per paycheck, prorated depending on whether you are a full-time or part-time employee.
- All educators will see a small increase in your PERA contribution, which is a result of the employee PERA contribution rate changing from 8% to 8.75%.
