COMPENSATION
The Board shall determine the compensation to be paid for the support staff members’ positions, keeping in mind the education and experience of the support staff, the District’s educational philosophy, the District’s financial condition, and any other considerations as deemed relevant by the Board.
The Superintendent shall make a recommendation to the Board annually regarding the compensation of support staff members.
WAGE AND OVERTIME COMPENSATION
Each non-exempt staff member compensated on an hour-by-hour basis, whether full-or part-time, permanent or temporary, will be paid no less than the prevailing minimum wage. Whenever a non-exempt staff member must work more than forty hours in a given work week, the staff member shall be compensated at one and one-half times their regular hourly wage rate. This compensation shall be in the form of either overtime pay or compensatory time. Overtime will not be permitted without prior authorization of the Superintendent.
Each non-exempt staff member paid on an hour-by-hour basis must complete, sign, and turn in a daily time record showing the actual number of hours worked. Failure of the staff member to maintain, or falsification of, a daily time record will be grounds for disciplinary action.
The Board Secretary will maintain wage records.
GROUP INSURANCE BENEFITS
Support staff members may be eligible for group benefits as determined by the Board and required by law. The Board will select the group benefit program(s) and the insurance company or third party administrator to provide or administer the program.
In accordance with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), the Board will offer staff who work an average of at least thirty (30) hours per week or one hundred thirty (130) hours per month, based on the measurement and provides minimum value. The Board will have the authority and right to change or eliminate group benefit programs, other than the group health plan, for its employees. Employers should maintain documents regarding eligible employees’ acceptance and rejection of coverage.
TAX SHELTER PROGRAMS
The Board authorizes the administration to make a payroll deduction for support staff members' tax-sheltered annuity premiums purchased from any company and collective bargaining units.
Support staff wishing to have payroll deductions for tax sheltered annuities shall make a written request to the Superintendent.
