Frequently Asked Questions
What is a pay range structure?
– It is a hierarchy of job levels with
minimum and maximum rates.
– There are different structures for
different employee groups.
– Pay range structures help the district
hire and keep employees by paying
more competitively and keeping pay
levels fair.
Frequently Asked Questions
• How was my pay grade determined?
– Jobs are grouped into pay levels or
pay grades based on the types of
duties assigned, skill requirements,
responsibility, and market value.
– Pay grade assignments are based
solely on the job - not the credentials
or performance of the person in the
job.
Frequently Asked Questions
• Will my pay grade ever change?
– Pay grades are changed only if there is
a significant and sustained change in
duties and responsibilities.
– The district will review job
classifications periodically to ensure
that pay grade assignments are kept
up-to-date with changing job
descriptions.

– Yes. The board granted a 2% of
midpoint pay increase to all those

pay increase to those whose pay is
above the maximum of the range.

adjustments to those whose pay is
below the pay range minimum.

based on the amount approved, or not,

Employee’s Pay
Frequently Asked Questions
• How do I get a pay increase?
– Every year, during the budget
process, the school board will
determine the amount that can be
spent for employee pay increases.
– That percent factor is applied to the
midpoint rate of each pay range to
calculate the pay raise at each grade
level.
– This means that everyone in the
same pay grade will receive the
same dollar amount of increase.
Frequently Asked Questions
Pay Increase Calculation Example:
If you were an hourly employee in pay grade 3
earning $13.00/hour and your pay range had a
midpoint of $13.36/hour, that rate would be the basis
for your pay raise.
If the board approved a pay raise budget of 2 percent,
your pay raise would look like this:
Your current hourly rate=
$13.00
Your pay raise ($13.36 x 2 percent) =
+
Your new hourly rate
$13.27
.27

future?

Frequently Asked Questions
• What if my pay was below the
minimum of the pay range?

increase. If that amount is not enough to take

range.
• What if my pay was above the
maximum of the pay range?
– The board granted a pay increase of 1% of
