SECTION 7.1.7 – COMPENSATION

SUB-SECTION A – SALARIES AND SUPPLEMENTS

As soon as practical after the Board of Supervisors has approved the operating budget for the next fiscal year, the Division Superintendent shall submit that fiscal year’s Pay Plan for approval.

Supplements shall be paid for a limited number of selected duties which require extensive work time beyond normal contract hours. The Pay Plan shall be structured to be as competitive in the local labor market as available resources permit. The Division Superintendent shall issue the approved Pay Plan as a regulation.

SUB-SECTION B - RETENTION AND RECRUITING INCENTIVES

From time to time, labor market conditions can present challenges either in retaining talented and skilled employees or in hiring such employees. Offers from other public sector or private employers can induce current employees to depart or can prompt prospective employees to decline a position offer in the York County School Division. Such attrition or hiring shortfalls can create serious vacancies in either specific certification categories for licensed employees or specific skill sets for non-licensed support staff. These vacancies have an adverse effect on the quality of instruction provided to students. Consequently, it is in the best interest of the School Board to undertake measures to counteract monetary inducements offered by competing employers to employees or potential employees whose skills are in great demand in the labor market. Accordingly, the Division Superintendent, as conditions warrant, will recommend to the School Board:

  • retention incentives deemed appropriate for retaining those categories of employees whose certifications or skill sets are in great demand; and
  • recruiting incentives deemed appropriate for hiring those categories of employees whose certifications or skill sets are in great demand.
  • Such incentives shall be subject to the availability of funding. Any retention or recruiting incentive shall not affect the structure of the School Board’s Pay Plan but shall be paid in addition to regular salary.
