Salary Determination Procedure

Salaries for all full-time and part-time regular employees are determined based upon the requirements of the job position, the education and work experience of the selected candidate; and the prevailing labor market for the specific position.


A salary calculation worksheet is used for determination of salaries of professional staff and faculty.  The worksheet is adjusted annually to incorporate salary increases approved by the state.  The worksheet for staff employees contains base salaries which are multiplied by work experience, educational level, and market factors to calculate the final salary for the selected candidate.  The worksheet for faculty includes the above, however, educational level is figured into the base salary.


A salary schedule is utilized for determining classified personnel salaries.  Different salary grades have been developed with salary ranges established for each grade.  The minimum for each range is adjusted annually to incorporate salary increases as approved by the state.  Work experience, education level up to an associate degree, and labor market are utilized in calculating the final salary for the selected candidate.
