23.1 The Faculty Salary Schedule for fiscal year 2005/06 will be changed as follows (see Appendix A):
 
  23.1.1

Full-time Faculty

It is the goal of the District to provide compensation near to the 35th placement of those provided by all California community colleges.

2006/07:

Longevity Increment.

Beginning July 1, 2006 the salary schedule in Appendix A is amended. Steps 20-22 are added to the Schedule. Each Step is a year interval of earned STRS and District service; there is no unit or co-curricular requirement for Steps 20-22 and there is no salary increment for Steps 20-21. A salary increment is added to Step 22, Track II, Track III, Track IV and Track V.


For fiscal year 2006/07, a 4.5% increase will be applied to each cell of the FY2005/06 Full Time Faculty Salary Schedule and a 5% increase will be applied to each cell of the following 2005/06 salary schedules in Appendix A:

  1. Credit Part-Time Faculty Salary Schedule; Effective August 2001 (Overall 14.49% Increase Over August 2000)
  2. Credit Part-Time Faculty Salary Schedule; Effective August 2001 (Overall 4.67% Increase Over August 2000)
  3. Noncredit Faculty Salary Schedule
 
  23.1.2 Full-time Faculty
 
    23.1.2.1 The District will establish a 457 Deferred Compensation Plan for the benefit of its employees.
 
    23.1.2.2 An employee must commit to a “match up to” amount during the health benefit open enrollment period (on or about October of each year) for the next calendar year “match”. New employees must commit when selecting their heath benefit package.
 
    23.1.2.3 The District will “match up to” employee contributions to the 457 Plan in the amounts specified below:
  1. For the period January 1, 2005 – June 30, 2005:

    [2% x the current Full-time Faculty Schedule cell (column/step) placement at time of enrollment, pro-rated if applicable]

    Example: [$60,000 salary schedule placement @ October 2004, divided by 2 (1/2 year period Jan-Jun. 2005) = $30,000 times 2% = $600]

    Note: $600 = 1% of $60,000 for a whole year. The 2% provides employee credit for the period July-Dec.2004.

  2. For the period July 1, 2005 – December 31, 2005:
    [1% x the current Full-time Faculty Schedule cell (column/step) placement at time of enrollment, pro-rated if applicable]

    Example: [$60,000 salary schedule placement @ October 2004, divided by 2 (1/2 year period Jul-Dec. 2005) = $30,000 times 1% = $300]

  3. Beginning January 1, 2006 and for subsequent calendar years: [1% x the current Full-Time Schedule cell (column/step) placement at time of enrollment, pro-rated if applicable]

    Example: [$60,000 salary schedule placement @ October 2005 times 1% = $600]
     
  23.1.3 Career increment and co-curricular increment pay
 
    23.1.3.1 Effective July 1, 1996 and thereafter career increment Steps A-E on Columns 4 and 5 of the Salary Schedule will be changed to Steps 15-19 with one (1) year intervals.
 
    23.1.3.2 Each step shall be equal to the increment differential in Columns 4 and 5 of the Salary Schedule.
 
    23.1.3.3 To qualify for a career increment step, academic staff members must earn three (3) units of course work as follows:
  1. Graduate work in the assigned area is accepted automatically;
  2. Graduate work outside of their college assignment (including continuing education and extension units) and undergraduate work (including continuing education and extension units); must be mutually approved by the Staff Development Committee and Vice President of Instructional Services or designee. In the event the Unit Member's units are not approved by the Vice President of Instructional Services or designee then said decision may be appealed to the President. This appeal shall be informal in nature; in the event the Unit Member wants to make a formal appeal of this decision, he/she should utilize the grievance process in Article IX.
OR

Academic staff members may earn an equivalency by completing one (1) of the following:
  1. An audit or comparative analysis of a course that the faculty member has taught within the last two (2) years. This may be completed at any two-year or four-year college or university.

    The faculty member shall submit to the Staff Development Committee in writing evidence of the comparative analysis or the audit.

  2. A faculty member may complete a special project/non-traditional project not to exceed a maximum of forty-eight (48) hours of work. This would be equivalent to a three (3) unit course of study, as approved by the Staff Development Committee.

  3. Beginning July 1996 and payable for the 1997-98 academic year and thereafter, to qualify for any three (3) of the five (5) career increment steps, the faculty member may substitute completion of the co-curricular activities in Appendix B.
