APA SALARY ADJUSTMENTS

Department

HUMAN RESOURCES

Policy

The APA Collective Bargaining Agreement allows for administrators to request salary adjustments based on attaining a new academic credential and/or taking on significantly expanded responsibilities.

Procedure

An administrator wishing to request such an adjustment must document that request, in writing, to his or her supervisor who in turn forwards the request along with a recommendation to approve or deny through the divisional chain of command up to the divisional vice president. The Divisional Vice President will forward it to the President along with a recommendation to approve or deny the request.  A copy of the request shall be sent to the Chapter president and the Director of Human Resources for tracking purposes.  Once received by the Director of Human Resources, there is a 90 day window within which a decision must be made.

Guidance on Increases in Salary

An administrator who attains a new academic credential and provides proof of that credential shall be granted an increase in salary if approved by the President in the following amounts; $500 for an Associate’s Degree, $1,000 for a Bachelor’s Degree, $1,500 for a Master’s Degree or CAGS and $2,000 for a Doctorate.  Similarly, if an administrator takes on significantly expanded responsibilities, the salary adjustment shall be recommended by the Area Vice President in an amount not to exceed 2.5% of the current salary.  If, however, the expanded responsibilities result in a promotion, then the salary adjustment shall be a flat $3,500 per year or 5% whichever is greater. All such requests/recommendations must include an updated job description clearly showing how the job responsabilities have changed to warrant the action.  All to be approved by the President.
