The Instructional Personnel Salary Plan’s objective is to have the salary of every instructor, depending on their years of service and academic degree, at or above the respective level shown on the attached schedule. The schedule is based on an instructor’s salary over the course of thirty (30) years being fifty percent (50%) greater than the State mandated beginning minimum salary for that degree. The fifty percent (50%) difference is broken into thirty (30) equal steps because thirty (30) years is generally considered to be a College employee’s career. The schedule does not establish a salary range for a position but only ensures that instructors are being equitably compensated for their years of service by establishing a minimum salary that must be met or exceeded.\u00a0 If the State changes the minimum required salary levels, the schedule will be revised by increasing each step of the schedule by the amount of the increase in the minimum salaries.<\/p>\n

Each year, after the State has determined the amount of any State funded increases, the College will check to see if any instructor is below their appropriate step on the schedule. If so, and subject to the availability of funds, an adjustment will be made in the respective instructor’s salary to bring them up to the appropriate level on the schedule.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Instructional Personnel Salary Computation Worksheet<\/div>
\n

The Instructional Personnel Salary Computation Worksheet<\/em> is used to compute the annual salaries for new instructors, current staff who transfers to instructional positions, current adjunct instructors who become full time and instructors who transfer between curriculum divisions. The college may limit years of experience in the calculation. This worksheet shall be approved by the appropriate personnel and kept in the employee\u2019s personnel file.<\/p>\n

However, in the event there is a shortage of qualified candidates available for the position or it is determined to be in the best interest of the College to employ an individual with a particular set of skills relevant to the position, a \u201cDemand Factor\u201d may be applied to the salary computation worksheet. Any requests for a demand factor must be approved by the President of the College.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

<\/span>Special Increases in Instructional Personnel Salary Schedule<\/div>
<\/span>Department Heads:<\/div>
<\/div><\/div>\n

Department heads carry additional responsibilities above those of coordinators and instructors. The position of Department Head shall be considered \"at will\".\u00a0 In recognition of those additional responsibilities, department heads will be paid, subject to the availability of funds, based on a determined by a salary plan. The department head will also receive a two (2) course release. Department Heads will be approved annually at the beginning of each academic year.<\/p>\n

When the College relieves an instructor of his\/her department head responsibilities, the instructor shall forfeit the related salary supplement and release time. However, there will be no loss of years of service or any other benefits available to the instructor.<\/p>\n[_\/su_spoiler]

<\/span>Coordinators:<\/div>
<\/div><\/div>\n

Coordinators carry additional responsibilities above those of an instructor. The position of Coordinator shall be considered \"at will\".\u00a0 The need for a coordinator will be determined by the division dean with the approval of the Vice President for Academic Affairs. Coordinators will be appointed annually at the beginning of each academic year and will be paid, subject to the availability of funds, based on a determined salary plan.\u00a0 Generally, coordinators will receive no release time. If, however, special circumstances exist, the appropriate dean may make a request to the Vice President for Academic Affairs for release time for a coordinator for up to one (1) course per year.<\/p>\n

At the point an instructor no longer has coordinator responsibilities, the supplement and any release time, if any, will be forfeited but there will be no loss of years of service or any other benefits available to the instructor.<\/p>\n[_\/su_spoiler]
