I. PURPOSE OF THIS HANDBOOK One of the most important Human Resource functions is salary administration. The basic mission of Human Resource Management is to obtain and retain a qualified and efficient work force. Pay is of central importance to our employees. It is the job of Human Resources Services, in conjunction with department management, to assure that our salary activities meet our goal of an effective, efficient, and motivated work force. This handbook is a guide for all salary-related activities for Non-Bargaining employees. It explains the procedures for wage adjustments that might result from a variety of personnel actions including promotions, new hires, and transfers. Some procedures, such as job description development, apply to all employees of the District. II. OBJECTIVES OF A SALARY ADMINISTRATION SYSTEM The School Board of Brevard County is charged with the responsibility to “… adopt a salary schedule or salary schedules designed to furnish incentives for improvement in training and for continued efficient service to be used as a basis for paying all school employees and fix and authorize the compensation of school employees on the basis thereof.” 1012.22(1)(c), FS. Beyond this statutory responsibility, the basic goal of any salary system is to support the Human Resource Management mission of obtaining and maintaining an effective, efficient, and motivated work force. The objective of a salary administration program is to create a system of rewards that is equitable to the employer and employee alike. There are six criteria for effectiveness in a salary program:

1. Equitable: Each person is paid fairly. This means that pay is in line with an employee’s efforts, abilities, and training.

2. Balanced: Pay, benefits, and other rewards provide a reasonable total compensation package.

3. Cost Effective: Salaries are not excessive in light of what the organization can afford to pay.

4. Secure: Salaries are viewed by employees as sufficient to allow them to feel secure and aid them in satisfying their basic needs.

5. Incentive-providing: Pay levels motivate effective and productive work. 6. Acceptable to the employee: The employee understands the pay system

and feels it is a reasonable system both for the organization and for the employee.

Salary administration must be viewed from a long-term perspective, with constant attention to overall equity and control of program integrity. The salary schedules and administrative procedures implemented by the School Board of Brevard County are designed to meet all of these criteria as well as fulfill the statutory obligation. Salaries of all employees shall be determined by the Board on the recommendation of the Superintendent and shall be outlined in the annual salary schedule adopted by the Board.

III. SALARY ADMINISTRATION PHILOSOPHY

1. Our goal is to provide direct compensation at market value. 2. The appropriate time to establish a salary range is before the personnel action (hiring,

promotion, salary adjustment, transfer, or demotion) is completed. The appropriate rate must be determined BEFORE salary is discussed with a candidate or employee.

3. Internal inequities will be evaluated and corrected as resources permit. A procedure for identification, evaluation, and correction is herein established and will be administered as established.

Individual Pay Determination V. JOB DESCRIPTIONS A job description outlines the tasks, duties, and responsibilities of a job, not the person currently performing the job. Job specifications detail the skills, knowledge, and abilities to perform the job in question. Our job specifications and the tasks, duties and responsibilities of a job are combined into one document. Our job descriptions also specify supervisory responsibility, physical demands, and other information relevant to the job. Job descriptions support a wide variety of personnel-related activities. They are used to help define training needs, to support career counseling when discussing advancement possibilities with employees, in recruiting, for promotion and transfer, and for salary survey activities. A written job description must be maintained for each position within the school system. A written job description is required whenever a personnel action of any type is proposed. All job descriptions must be approved by the Board before any use, publication, distribution, or personnel action can be taken. In addition to updating job descriptions as needed to implement a personnel action, job descriptions will be reviewed periodically for accuracy and updated as necessary. Rick Morton, Human Resources Services, will be responsible for initiating this review process, however the position incumbent and the appropriate supervisor will be responsible for revising and updating documents as needed. In addition, the position incumbent and the appropriate supervisor may request job description revisions as necessary.

- 5 -

The steps taken to update an existing job description or create a new one are as follows:

1. The need for a job description is identified. Grants, legal mandates, program requirements, Board direction, etc. may create the need.

2. Justification is submitted to Rick Morton, Human Resources Services.

3. After review, the request is approved:

a. Rick Morton, Human Resources Services, will request completion of a job

description questionnaire, or requests a mark-up of the existing job description. b. A Job Description Supplement form is completed by the incumbent or supervisor.

Form templates are in the appendix of this handbook. c. Rick Morton, Human Resources Services, reviews draft documents and returns them

for final review by the supervisor. d. Changes are reviewed and the documents are returned to the supervisor for

finalization. e. Classification of the position is established by Human Resources Services. f. The completed job description, to include all funding criteria, is taken to the Board

for approval by Human Resources Services. g. Upon approval by the Board, the job description is added to the web database

maintained by Human Resources Services, the job is updated in the position control database; and copies of the job description are distributed, in hard copy or by e-mail, as needed.

Questionnaires are available to facilitate the development of new job descriptions. One questionnaire is used for management and professional jobs and a separate form for non-management positions. Copies of both questionnaires are in Appendix A. Appendix B is a copy of our job description form and supplement. The questionnaires, the job description form, and supplement are available from Human Resources Services and on the district website. VI. SALARY RANGES Our Non-bargaining salary system is market based. Each pay grade on the Non-bargaining Salary Schedule has a range of established dollar values. Minimums, midpoints and maximums are established for each grade. Dollar values can overlap adjacent pay grades. Both the spread and interval values are calculated with the goal of consistency throughout the schedule or portions thereof. The spread is the dollar value, expressed as a percentage of the minimum that exists between the minimum and the maximum for a specific range. The interval is the dollar value, expressed as a percentage, which exists between two adjacent ranges. The salary paid for each position in a pay grade must fall between the minimum and maximum established for that pay grade. Salary schedules are adjusted periodically to account for inflation, changes in the external market, and changes in the cost of living. Administrative requirements may also create the need for salary structure adjustments. The dollar ranges established for each pay grade are a function of an analysis of external market forces. The external market in which Brevard County Public Schools must compete for qualified individuals is our basis for comparison. Salary surveys are the primary method for obtaining this external market data.

VII. SALARY SURVEYS A salary survey is nothing more than asking other school districts and organizations to share their salary schedules. Certain jobs are benchmarked and used for these surveys. Benchmarking is a process of selecting a few representative jobs to serve as guides for the survey process. It would be impossible to survey every job in the school system. Great care is taken to ensure that the benchmarked jobs are similar in scope and responsibility within all the organizations being surveyed. At least one position from each pay grade is benchmarked for analysis. Ideally three positions in each pay grade are benchmarked. These positions are used as the standard for their ranges. It is more common to share salary range data than to share actual salaries in a salary survey. Complete and up-to-date job descriptions are essential for accurate analysis of salary survey data. Longevity and educational requirements are also factored into the analysis to ensure that an accurate comparison is made. Salary surveys for Non-bargaining employees compare twelve-month positions, unless otherwise stated. A wide variety of organizations conduct salary surveys including federal, state, and local governments; professional groups; and other school systems. Salary survey data we obtain from these sources are analyzed and compared to our salary schedules. We will conduct our own salary surveys as necessary. Human Resources Services is responsible for conducting salary surveys, for responding to requests for data for salary surveys, and for the analysis of data. This process allows us to remain competitive and equitable with the external labor market. The Board must approve changes in the Non-bargaining Salary Schedule. VIII. SALARY ADMINISTRATION

A. Salary Adjustments:

Salary Adjustments (other than periodic adjustments) are made in response to a personnel action or to correct an inequity. Promotions, transfers, demotions, and hiring someone from outside the school system are all personnel actions. Requests and/or recommendations for a salary adjustment are processed by Human Resources Services. Requests must be accompanied by all appropriate justifications (for example, a job description and an explanation of why the request is being made). Salary adjustment requests for non-bargaining employees will be reviewed and approved by Human Resources Services prior to submission to the Superintendent for Board action. The request will be reviewed for both internal and external equity. It is the responsibility of the appropriate supervisor to prepare and submit to Human Resources Services the necessary forms and justifications when requesting any salary adjustment. Employees’ salaries should not exceed the maximum and may not fall below the minimum of their established pay grades. Employees who are currently above the maximum of their ranges will be red-circled; employees whose salaries fall below the minimum of their salary range will be green-circled. Red-circled employees ordinarily will not receive a pay adjustment until they are reassigned to a different job, their job is reclassified, or the salary schedule is adjusted. Green-circled employees will receive special consideration and salary

- 7 -

adjustments until their salaries are brought up to the minimum of their pay grade. Human Resources Services is responsible for evaluating all salary adjustment requests and taking whatever action is appropriate. The Division will coordinate activities and take recommended actions to the Superintendent for Board approval.

1. Slotting: Slotting involves the determination of the individual salary level resulting from a hiring, promotion, transfer, or demotion activity. The market value of each salary range on the Non-bargaining Salary Schedule is the proper salary level for an individual who is fully functional in all aspects of his/her job. Typically, employees must meet or exceed all established job description criteria for the position in order to be considered eligible for a market value salary level. Movement to market value is NOT an automatic adjustment. Education, experience, and current district and market conditions are evaluated when slotting individuals who are newly hired by the school district on the Non-bargaining salary schedule. It is important to remember that equity is the driving factor in all adjustments to salary. Equity issues may override experience and education considerations. The slotting of employees who are promoted, transferred, or demoted is more difficult. Prior salary within the school system is a valid consideration for promotions, transfers and demotions, but experience and education may also be considered. An increase of 3-7% more than current base salary, based on education, experience, and the difference in salary grades between positions, or placement at the minimum of the new pay grade, whichever is higher, is the procedure to be used for placement. Slotting a promotion, transfer, or demotion may require an analysis of all similarly situated employees as well as a review of the job descriptions for everyone in the applicable job classification in order to prevent inequities. The Human Resources Division is responsible for conducting equity analyses, initiating job description reviews, evaluating equity issues, and recommending non-bargaining salary decisions to the Superintendent for approval. 2. New Hires: New Hires are placed in the appropriate slot within a pay grade on the Non-bargaining Salary Schedule after consideration of their experience and education, the placement of similarly-situated existing employees, and the salaries of subordinates as well as superiors. Internal equity, external equity, and compression are all evaluated. All documents and employment verifications must be received in Human Resources Services no later than 45 calendar days following hire in order to be considered for adjusted placement on the salary schedule. Fully-qualified new hires are slotted at the minimum of the appropriate pay grade. Experience and equity are then evaluated and further adjustments may be made. For each year of job-related, verified experience outside of the district, credit is granted towards additional placement on the salary schedule. Credit will be granted up to a maximum of 10 years of job-related experience and slotted accordingly within the salary range established for the position. When submitting past experience, a candidate must provide relevant job-related experience on district reference forms or on letterhead of the past company(s). These MUST be signed by a current or prior supervisor in order to qualify for this additional

- 8 -

salary placement. The Human Resources department will verify all of this information. The appropriate supervisor is responsible for coordinating the search for a new employee with Human Resources Services. In order to recruit for a new hire, a vacancy must exist and the job description must be current and approved by the Board. Human Resources Services is responsible for taking all placement actions to the Board for approval. 3. Promotion: A promotion involves the advancement of a current employee to a job with a higher job evaluation rating, pay grade and salary range. A promotion shall not result in the placement of employees either below the minimum or above the maximum of their pay grade on the salary schedule. Slotting on the salary schedule for a promoted employee is at the minimum of the new pay grade or 3-7% more than the current base salary. In cases where there is a change in grade and a change in the number of contract days, the current salary will be calculated by 3-7% and divided into a daily rate and then annualized to the specific number of new contract days of the new position. Equity (internal and external) and prior relevant verified experience may be used to adjust the new salary as appropriate. Human Resources Services is responsible for reviewing the salary levels and job descriptions of employees in the same or a closely-related position to ensure that inequitable situations are not being created to the extent funding is available. Compression concerns must also be addressed. Compression occurs when there is not an acceptable difference between subordinates’ and supervisors’ salaries. Compression can also exist when there is not an acceptable difference between established levels for the same job, such as, Specialist I and Specialist II. The incumbent’s qualifications vis-à-vis the job description must also be evaluated. Supervisors are responsible for providing Human Resources Services with the information necessary to process a requested promotion. This information will vary depending upon whether the promotion is to a newly-created position or to an existing vacancy. Human Resources Services will assist supervisors in identifying and preparing the required documents. The Board must approve all promotions. 4. Transfer: A transfer does not result in an adjustment of salary for Non-bargaining employees unless the length of the contract year changes. This policy applies to temporary transfers as well as regular transfers. A transfer is a move from one job to another in the same pay grade. Transfers may occur within departments and schools as well as between departments or schools. Annual salary will be adjusted if the length of the contract year changes as the result of a transfer. Non-bargaining employees’ calculations are computed on the number of days worked for each contract. The same processes are reversed when the contract year length is reduced. All transfers must be reviewed by Human Resources Services, and the Superintendent, and approved by the Board. The appropriate supervisor is responsible for notifying Human Resources Services of the proposed transfer. Human Resources Services reviews the proposed action for compliance with approved staffing levels, candidate qualifications, and any other factors impacting the situation. Human Resources Services takes the proposed action to the Superintendent for Board approval.

5. Temporary Assignment: Employees temporarily promoted to a job with a higher classification on the Non-bargaining Salary Schedule are paid at the same rate as they would be for a non-temporary assignment, upon the recommendation of the supervisor and with approval of the Superintendent and/or designee. Non-employees hired as a temporary are paid at the minimum rate for the appropriate pay grade. Some temporary duties are covered by salary supplements instead of base pay adjustments. 6. Demotion: A demotion results in a negative adjustment of salary to a new pay grade on the Non-bargaining Salary Schedule. Placement at the appropriate level on the salary schedule is accomplished in the same way as placement for promotions. Internal equity and job qualifications are factored into the placement. Employees who are demoted to a position in a lower pay grade may have their salary reduced by 3-7%, however, end salary may not exceed the maximum of the lower pay grade. Exceptions to this policy may occur when equity issues must be addressed and as approved by the Superintendent or his designee. All demotions are reviewed by Human Resources Services and the Superintendent, and approved by the Board. 7. Termination and Reinstatement: Employees who are rehired after an absence are treated as new hires for salary calculation and placement purposes. 8. Periodic Salary Adjustments: The Board approves periodic salary adjustments for Non-bargaining employees who are active with the District at the time of the adjustment. Adjustments are not necessarily made every year but are discretionary. Performance is a factor in the determination of individual salary adjustments. See Performance/Annual increase. In the case of an employee being hired or promoted late in the fiscal year, an individual must have been in the new position for more than ½ of the position’s calendar year to be eligible for the adjustment.

B. Creation of a New Position: Requests for new positions are made during the budget process each year. It is the responsibility of the appropriate supervisor to inform Human Resources Services of the need for a new Non-bargaining position prior to submission of the request during the budget process. Rick Morton, Human Resources Services, will work with the supervisor to develop a job description that must accompany the request. Labor Relations will determine whether or not the position is Non-bargaining. Human Resources Services will set the pay grade for a Non-bargaining position. Approval for the new position must come from the Board. New positions may also be requested through the development of our annual staffing plan. The Director of Labor Relations and Human Resources Services coordinate this activity. C. Reclassification: Changes in job content, complexity, responsibility, and accountability may result in the reclassification of a job to a higher or lower pay grade. Determination of the need for reclassification requires the generation of an updated job description and job evaluation. It is the responsibility of the appropriate supervisor to request consideration of reclassification to Human Resources Services. Rick Morton, Human Resources Services, will work with the supervisor to develop or revise the job description and the job evaluation as needed. Justification (why the reclassification is necessary) is also required. Other

- 10 -

information, such as old and new organization charts, may also be required. Human Resources Services will also evaluate the relative salary of similar positions, look for compression problems, and evaluate equity issues. Reclassifications are driven by a change in the job, not by a change in the skills or abilities of the person holding the job. For example, a reclassification is not appropriate because an employee has earned a degree. Position reclassifications must apply to all the positions in the school system that hold that title. Anomalies must be corrected before the reclassification process can go forward to the Superintendent for Board approval. Once a position has been reclassified, the salary level of all incumbents in that position will be slotted. An incumbent will not be allowed to exceed the maximum or fall below the minimum of the new pay grade. Adjustments to placement in the proposed pay grade may then be made based upon internal equity, compression, and other factors. See the Salary Adjustment section of this handbook for guidelines on how adjustments are calculated. Internal equity may also be factored into the new salary level. When reclassification results in a position being placed in a lower pay grade, employees will retain their current salary or be placed at the maximum of the new pay grade. Exceptions to this policy will occur when equity issues must be addressed. A reclassification of more than one pay grade will be considered a new position. As such, advertising of the position will be required. Incumbents MUST apply for the new position and will be considered along with all other qualified applicants. See Appendix "D" for the procedure used for the reclassification advertisement. D. Salary Negotiations involve the discussion of a proposed salary with a candidate for a particular position. The salary negotiation policy and process are the same regardless of whether the candidate is a current employee being transferred, demoted, or promoted, or is a new hire from outside the organization. Only those employees with supervisory responsibility over the position in question have the authority to discuss salary with a candidate. In order to avoid unfortunate situations, it is imperative that the supervisor be aware of the appropriate range for the position in question and the criteria for slotting a particular individual within the range. Only Directors and above may make job offers. E. Responsibilities: The immediate supervisor is responsible for initiating action for promotions, transfers, demotions and new hires as well as for job classification activities. Obtaining the required approval of the appropriate superintendent or authority is the responsibility of the supervisor. Employees and prospective employees are responsible for providing all required information prior to the relevant personnel action. Additional experience verification information may be provided no later than 45 days following the date of hire, promotion, transfer, or demotion. Human Resources Services is responsible for assisting the supervisor with the completion of the appropriate forms and justification. Human Resources Services is responsible for the analysis of all factors impacting pay grade, salary, and slotting decisions as well as the allocation of the salary budget for Non-bargaining employees. The School Board is responsible for the approval of all staffing levels and changes, job

- 11 -

description qualification changes and additions, budgets for salary and reclassification, and other personnel actions. F. Exceptions: Any exception to the policies and procedures outlined in this handbook must be approved by the Superintendent or his designee. G. Movement from Teaching to a Non-bargaining Position: Employees who move from a teaching position to a Non-bargaining position will be slotted according to the same criteria used for a promotion within the Non-bargaining schedule. Placement at the minimum established salary level is current procedure. If the length of the contract year also changes, an adjustment based on the daily rate is also made. Equity (internal and external) and relevant verified experience may also be considered. Prior instructional supplements are not included in the calculation of salary for any Non-bargaining position. Only the base rate of pay will be used in determining salary when an employee is moving from a bargaining to a Non-bargaining position. Assistant Principals are guaranteed that they will be paid more than their teaching salary had they remained in the classroom. Salaries that are for a period of less than twelve months will be converted to the appropriate time period of the new Assistant Principal contract to make this calculation. Assistant Principals’ salaries are reviewed annually to ensure the guaranteed difference. H. Movement from L1010 or Professional/Technical to a Non-bargaining Position: Employees who move from an L1010 union position to a Non-bargaining position will be slotted according to the same criteria used for a promotion within the Non-bargaining schedule. A 3-7% adjustment over their current rate of pay will be considered. Lead pay is not included in the calculation of the salary for any Non-bargaining position. Only the base rate of pay will be used in determining salary when an employee is moving from a bargaining to a Non-bargaining position. I. Supplements: Salary supplements are permitted in order to adequately compensate employees for additional duties beyond those identified as required to satisfactorily perform the job. Advanced degree supplements are available for employees who obtain a Specialist or Doctorate degrees which exceed the job description requirements. A schedule of currently-approved supplements is attached as Appendix C. J. Minimum Wage: The minimum salary of a pay grade will not be allowed to fall below the minimum wage as established by federal or state law. K. Overtime and Compensatory Time Off: Hours in excess of 40 hours per week will be paid in accordance with applicable wage and hour laws and regulations. Overtime hours are paid at one and one-half times the standard hourly rate unless the employee is exempt from the provisions of the applicable laws. Most managers and administrators and some professionals are exempt from the overtime rules of the Fair Labor Standards Act and therefore will not receive overtime pay. Authorization to work overtime must be by prior written approval by the Department Head or Principal.

- 12 -

Compensatory time shall not be taken in lieu of overtime pay L. Earned Service: To earn a complete year of service for the full annual salary adjustment purpose (should such adjustment be approved by the Board), employees must work in their current positions at least one day more than one-half of the designated work year. The Board will establish the designated work year. Employees whose designated work year is less than twelve months must work at least one day more than one-half of the period specified for their work year. See Periodic Salary Adjustments for earned service pro-ration. M. Appeals process: An employee who wishes to appeal a slotting, salary, or classification decision must submit a written request within 30 calendar days of the date the action was taken. The written request must include: 1) specific examples of substantive factors(s) not considered when the action was taken, and/or 2) detailed factual basis for the belief that one or more substantive factors was not properly evaluated. The supervisor and appropriate Assistant or Associate Superintendent must review the written request and approve or reject. If approved, the request is forwarded Human Resources Services. Human Resources Services reviews and approves or rejects the request within 30 calendar days of receipt of the written appeal. N. Change in length of contract year: An employee in a 9, 10, 11, or 12-month contract position that changes in length, either by increasing or decreasing the number of days, may be entitled to a salary adjustment. In such cases, the salary will be divided to obtain the daily rate of pay and multiplied by the new number of contract days. O. Performance/Annual Increase: Each employee must work one day more than half his or her contract year and have a satisfactory performance appraisal to be eligible for an annual salary adjustment at the end of the fiscal year, should such increase be approved by the Board. Satisfactory service is defined as other than receiving an overall “Needs Improvement” or “Unsatisfactory” performance evaluation instrument. See Periodic Salary Adjustments for earned service pro-ration. Should an employee not meet the satisfactory performance standard, his or her salary will be frozen for one year or until the next eligible review cycle and board approved annual increase the following fiscal year. Salary may also be frozen by the Superintendent in the event of one or more egregious acts of insubordination or failure to discharge duties as required. P. In-service compensation: Compensation will be provided to school-based administrators on 10-month contracts for attendance and instruction of Board-paid in-service programs when attendance is outside of their contract year (summer break only). Compensation will be the same as that provided to teachers.

Nine, 10, and 11-month Non-bargaining personnel will also be compensated for preparation and/or in-service instruction outside of their normal contract or work year. Contract employees would be paid the same hourly rate as teachers. Hourly employees would be paid their hourly rate.

IX. EQUITY REVIEW

- 13 -

Equity review is executed at more than one level. First, the overall salary program for Non-bargaining employees must be examined for structural integrity and equity. Second, the salary of employees who are paid according to the Non-bargaining Salary Schedule must be examined individually and by classification. Human Resources Services is responsible for equity review of the Non-bargaining salary schedule and program. Equity review is a time-consuming activity, and all potential inequities cannot be simultaneously identified and remedied. As situations requiring a response are identified, corrective action will be proposed during each annual adjustment cycle. Human Resources Services is responsible for the review of all proposed salary changes for any Non-bargaining employee. Equity will be the primary consideration for this review. External equity is the relationship between pay for the same or a similar job in the external labor market. This external market can be national, state, regional or county. The external market is generally comparable to the area used for recruiting an individual with the required skills, abilities, and education. For example, if a position were so specialized and unique that a nationwide search would be required in order to find a person to fill the job the external market for equity analysis would be the nation. Many positions covered by the Non-bargaining salary schedule can be filled from within Brevard County. Market data from a variety of sources is used for external equity analyses. Internal equity is the relationship between pay for the same or similar jobs within the school system. Human Resources Services is responsible for the evaluation of equity within the system. Equity and compression issues must be evaluated before any slotting decision is made. While Human Resources Services is responsible for equity analyses, any staff member who is aware of a potential equity problem should bring this to the attention of Human Resources Services. Once an internal equity issue has been identified as a potential problem, the following procedure will be used to evaluate and correct, if appropriate, the situation:

1. Data will be collected and reviewed for the group of employees in question. The data are sorted both by pay grade for the whole school system and by pay grade within the department or school in question, if appropriate. Care is taken to ensure that information on the length of time an employee has been engaged in the same or a similar position is accurate. Data on employees with contracts that are less than twelve months in duration will be annualized for comparison purposes, if appropriate. 2. All positions in a job group must be evaluated at the same time. To do otherwise would skew the data for the group for subsequent data analysis. 3. Internal equity issues will be evaluated and addressed as funding is available and allocated for this purpose.

X. CALCULATIONS Several mathematical calculations are used in salary administration. Listed below are the most frequently used ones and a brief explanation of how they are made: Increases: (Current pay times the percentage increase) plus

current pay. Example: A 5% increase on a $25,000 salary would be:

$25,000 x .05 = $1,250 $25,000 + $1,250 = $26,250

Decreases: Current pay minus (current pay times the

percentage decrease). Example: A 5% decrease on a $25,000 salary would be:

$25,000 x .05 = $1,250 $25,000 - $1,250 = $23,750

Rounding: When converting annual salaries to hourly rates for

nonexempt employees all hourly rates will be rounded to the next higher $0.05.

Compa-ratio: (Comparative

Ratio)

A relationship between an employees’ salary and the market salary, expressed as a percentage. Example: Between a $28,600 salary and a $26,558 market value:

($28,600 / $26,558) x 100 = 107.69% (employee is earning 107.69% of market value)

Interval: Difference between the same point of two separate

pay grades. (Can be expressed as a dollar value or a percent of the lower.) Example: Between where the values are $27,624 and $32,837, respectively:

$32,837 - $27,624 = $5,213 ($5,213 / $27,624) x 100 = 19%

Spread: Difference between the minimum and maximum of a pay grade: (Can be expressed as a dollar value or a percent of the minimum.) Example: ($29,837 - $21,339) = $8,498

($8,498 / $21.339) x 100 = 40%

XI. GLOSSARY The definitions listed below are limited to the use of the word in the context of salary administration. Benchmark: A position used in a salary survey to represent several or all of the positions within a salary range. Break in Service: Being out of the employ of the School Board of Brevard County for one-day more than six calendar months. This definition of a break in service applies only to salary administration; other definitions may apply to other employment circumstances. Compa-ratio: A ratio calculated by dividing an employee’s current salary by the market value. Compression: Compression is the lack of adequate separation between two salaries or points on a salary schedule. Demotion: A personnel action that results in the movement of an employee from a position in one pay grade on a salary schedule to a position in a lower pay grade to include a reduction in base salary. Direct Compensation: The salary portion of an employee’s total compensation package. Entry Rate: The first salary rate an employee has in a particular position. The entry rate is not the same as the minimum salary of a pay grade on a salary schedule. External Equity: An evaluation of school system salaries as they relate to the salaries paid in the appropriate external market. External Market: The geographical area within which we compete for employees. This area may vary for different employee groups.
