A. There are several steps to determine your new base salary:
1) Structural Change
With going to a new minimum for OCPS of $15.40/hour, our goal included getting to $15.40 while maintaining our hierarchical Classified Salary Schedule. The new schedule can be found on page 32 of 74 of the Tentative Agreements, click here.
Anyone who was at pay grade minimum in the old structure will be at pay grade minimum in the new structure.
In addition, anyone who’s hourly rate was up to 5% above the minimum in the old structure would be kept at the same percentage above the minimum in the new structure, up to 5%.
a) If you were more than 5% above the minimum and your current rate is greater than the new minimum, please see step 2.
b) If you were more than 5% above the minimum and your current rate is less than the new minimum, you only qualify for the new minimum in this step.
2) 9% Increase
Anyone who worked in a Classified position one day over half in the 2022-23 school year, qualifies for a minimum increase of 9%, if the first two steps provided you with less than a 9% increase.
a) If you did not work one day over half in 2022-23, you do not qualify for the 9% increase, but you would be eligible for the structural change increase as described above.
b) If your Structural Change was more than 9%, you would not receive anything additional in this step.
