EPEA NEWS:
NEW SALARY IMPLEMENTED TODAY:
Today marks the application of your new salary for the 23-24 school year.
In the EAC you should see your new rate of pay applied. Note: family medical contribution changes come on the 4/15 paycheck.
To check your new rate of pay, please follow the steps provided:
Locate your 23-24 salary on the salary schedule
Divide that yearly salary amount by either 20 or 24, depending on if you elected to have 20 or 24 payroll checks.
Look at the third column titled “Current.” Your new rate should appear on the top row.
* Not sure if your new EAC number is accurate? Communication from HR/Business Office came out this week, or click here for a video from Dominic
For example:
An employee who was on STEP G BA 45 last year.
Now STEP H BA 45 this year (Newly labeled STEP 7).
23-24 salary = $67,628 annually
Individual receives 24 pay checks
New Current Rate = $67,628 / 24 = $2,817.83
