May 2, 2018 Tentative Agreement Explanation

COMPENSATION
Pay IncreaseIncrease each cell of FT annual payscale by $7400 over three years.
Keep pro-rata in place and increase part-time, overload, and hourly schedules proportionately.
>> Year 1: increase by $2700
>> Year 2: Increase by $2500
>> Year 3: Increase by $2200
A traditional percentage increase helps the people at the top of the scale the most and increases the disparity between the top and bottom. By implementing a flat rate instead, we seek to promote equity and fairness within our faculty.
FT pay over 3 years — annual salaries
COLANo COLA or percentage. Instead, resources put into flat rate increase, abovePT pay over 3 years — annual and workload payscales
ColumnsAdd $1335 to each column increment from Column F to Column G.
>> Implement immediately in year 1 for column G.
>> For columns F15 – F45, spread it over 3 years: $445 per year.
This means that moving up a column is worth more. It makes the increase of a column equal to the increase of a step, as planned years ago when we created the columns. It would be a huge step towards bringing us to the Bay 10 median and keeping us there, and help address the difficulties in hiring faculty.
Steps:
FT
Three new longevity steps for full-time faculty in columns F and above. These will be calculated as normal steps, not as “district service” as was earlier proposed. We will re-number and clarify the steps as well.
>> Year 1: new step 25 (equal to $8010, the value of three steps)
>> Year 2: new step 23 (equal to $5340, the value of two steps)
>> Year 3: new step 20 (equal to $2670, the value of one step).
Implementing steps in reverse order means faculty who qualify for step 25 would see a large increase immediately.
Exhibit C: Longevity Steps
Exhibit C: Renumbering Steps
Steps:
PT
Three new steps for part-timers, with two of them contingent on budget.
>> Year 2: July 1, 2019: Step 14.
January 1, 2020: Step 15 if Fall 2019 actual fund balance is at least equal to projections
>> Year 3: January 1, 2021: Step 16 if Fall 2020 actual fund balance is at least equal to projections.
