[See also DEAA] The compensation plan may include wage and salary structures, stipends, benefits, and incentives. The recommended plan shall support College District goals for hiring and retaining highly qualified employees. The Board shall review and approve the compensation plan to be used by the College District. The Board shall also determine the total compensation package for the College President. [See BF series]

The College President shall implement the compensation plan and establish procedures for plan administration consistent with the budget. The College President or designee shall classify each job title within the compensation plan based on the qualifications, duties, and market value of the position.

The College District shall pay all salaried employees over 12 months in equal monthly or semimonthly installments, regardless of the number of months employed during the academic year. Salaried employees hired during the academic year shall be paid in accordance with administrative regulations.

The College President shall recommend to the Board an amount for employee pay increases as part of the annual budget. The College President or designee shall determine pay adjustments for individual employees, within the approved budget, following established procedures.

A contract employee’s pay may be increased after performance on the contract has begun only if authorized by the compensation plan of the College District or there is a change in the employee’s job assignment or duties during the term of the contract that warrants additional compensation. Any such changes in pay that do not conform with the compensation plan shall require Board approval. [See DEA(LEGAL) for provisions on pay increases and public hearing requirements]

The College President or designee may grant a pay increase to a noncontract employee after duties have begun because of a change in the employee’s job assignment or to address pay equity. The College President shall report any such pay increases to the Board at the next regular meeting.

Pay During Closing

If the Board chooses to pay employees during an emergency closure for which the workdays are not scheduled to be made up at a later date, then that authorization shall be by resolution or other Board action and shall reflect the purpose served by the expenditure. 

Gifts, Grants, and Donations for Salary Supplements

The College District shall not accept gifts, grants, donations, or other consideration designated for use as salary supplements.
