Benefits & Compensation

Benefits 

The Benefits department can assist with the following functions: 

● Enrolling a new employee in benefits and providing information regarding benefits;

● Changing your benefits if you have a “special enrollment event,” such as having a baby, getting married, or your spouse loses his/her employer’s health coverage. 

● Providing information about requesting and taking a leave of absence. 

● Answering benefits-related questions. 

Compensation 

The Superintendent shall recommend an annual compensation plan for all District employees. The compensation plan may include wage and salary structures, stipends, benefits, and incentives. The recommended plan shall support District goals for hiring and retaining highly qualified employees. The Board shall review and approve the compensation plan to be used by the District. The Superintendent shall implement the compensation plan and establish procedures consistent with the approved budget. 

The Superintendent or designee shall classify each job position within the compensation plan based on the qualifications, duties, and market value of the position. In accordance with the Fair Labor Standards Act, job positions within the District are classified as either exempt or nonexempt. Exempt employees are usually employed in professional or administrative positions and do not have to track their work hours in the district’s time management system. Nonexempt employees are usually employed in classified positions, at-will, and have to track their work hours in the district’s time management system. Additional information can be found in Policy DEA and Policy DEAB.
