Dear Colleagues,
On June 21, 2022 we filed an Administration Union Concern because the district announced that there would be 27 pay dates for the 2022-23 school year. We confirmed with the Payroll Department back in March that there would be 3 months with 3 pay dates. 1st VP Underhile discovered that we did not have a 3rd month with a 3rd pay, but instead we would receive our 27th pay for the 2022-23 school year on August 28, 2023. This meant that we would already have started a new school year, but our pay would not include negotiated raises and lane advancements until the September 8, 2023 pay. Obviously, this is unacceptable.
On Monday, June 24, 2022 we received an email from Treasurer, Scott Gainer, stating that we would be put back on 26 pay dates for the 2022-2023 school year. He agreed with our union’s argument that it isn’t necessary to have 27 pay dates for this upcoming school year, and that in the long term, pay dates can be revised after future calendars are approved by the Board of Education. Needless to say, since we prevailed the Administration Union Concern has been withdrawn.
- Pay dates for 2022-2023:
- First pay: 8/26/22
- Last pay: 8/11/23
- Pay dates for 2023-2024:
- First pay: 8/25/2023
- Last pay: 8/9/2024
In Union,
Karen Rego
