Compensation Information

The full value of employment, a "total compensation package", encompasses more than just base salary. Total compensation includes base salary plus employer funded benefits such as health insurance and retirement plan contributions, paid time off, stipends, and other non-salary compensation elements provided by the division.

To calculate the value of salary plus employer paid benefits, begin with a base annual salary and increase it by 35% (e.g., $50,000 x 1.35= $67,500). The resulting amount reflects the full value of employment, a "total compensation package." This figure may vary from year to year and can change as employees progress in their career.

Final salary determination is contingent on verification of previous experience and must be approved by the Human Resources Department.

Positions on the salary scales are grouped into three categories: "Classified" for grades 1-11, "Certified" for grade 12, and "Managers" for grades 13-23. For more information on these groups, visit the Employment Opportunities page.
