SALISBURY — The Rowan-Salisbury Schools Board of Education on Monday sorted through a set of new salary scales that will mean pay boosts for some employees, retroactive pay and a path toward more raises for hourly employees.
The board approved a minimum wage increase for nutrition staff on Nov. 29, but district finance staff members were unable to implement the entire update for the nutrition department because it was waiting on the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction to create its own scales that line up with the budget.
Now, RSS nutrition employees can expect to see pay increases across the board in addition to the previously approved starting pay of $13.39 per hour, which is 39 cents higher than the new state minimum. Bus driver pay raises were approved in November before the passage of the budget and the state finalizing pay scales.
The scales now include retroactive pay for hourly employees outlined in the state budget. The new state budget raised minimum wages for school employees to $13 per hour, and all hourly staff will get retroactive pay back to July 1 covering the difference between what they made and $13 per hour, or a 2.5% increase if that number is greater.
The pay scales are a long list of steps and positions that let school districts identify how much each employee would be paid. The RSS scales were complete in November, but they had to be revised to line up with the state’s new scales after the new budget was signed into law.
