3 INTRODUCTION The District Board of Trustees recognizes that the quality of faculty, administrators and staff is directly related to the quality of the College. Maintaining a competitive salary plan for instructional, administrators and support personnel is a key to attracting and retaining a highly qualified workforce. To accomplish this objective, the President is directed to recommend a budget using the following guidelines: 1. Give highest priority to funding the direct cost of instruction, maintaining TCC s position of being one of the Florida community college leaders in percent of budget directed to instruction. 2. Establish the appropriate balance between personnel and non-personnel expenditures to assure a positive teaching environment. 3. Restrict administrative and other non-instructional expenses to the lowest reasonable level for maintaining efficient and effective operations. 4. Provide highly competitive salaries to maintain the College as a leader in compensation among Florida community colleges. 3

4 PURPOSE The salary schedule for Tallahassee Community College is established annually pursuant to s (18), F.S., which gives the District Board of Trustees authority to develop a personnel program for the College. Upon adoption, the salary schedule serves as a guide in determining employee compensation. The annual salary schedule as approved by the District Board of Trustees shall supersede all rules, handbooks and other policies and shall be the only basis for computation of salaries to College employees. The salary schedule is not intended to create or be interpreted as a contract of employment. Furthermore, the salary schedule does not give employees the right to or expectancy of continued employment. Tallahassee Community College s compensation policies and procedures are designed to meet the following objectives: Ensure compensation actions are administered in a manner to comply with state and federal legal requirements. Enhance the College s ability to attract and retain qualified faculty and staff. Ensure external competitiveness by developing and maintaining compensation levels that reflect market pay rates. Provide a clear and concise reference for fair compensation decisions. Provide flexibility so the compensation structure remains responsive to changes in the marketplace, the organization and funding availability. 4

5 GENERAL PROVISIONS Effective Date The Salary Schedule is effective July 1, 2015 through June 30, Salaries Salaries established for positions are based on 1.0 full time equivalent (FTE) unless otherwise noted.

Salary Increases/Changes In Salary Salary increases will be determined as part of the annual planning and budgeting process. The President will recommend a salary increase proposal to the District Board of Trustees for approval and will subsequently notify employees of the Board s decision. Salary increases are contingent on availability of funding and are largely dependent upon the allocation of state funds and TCC s budget priorities. If an employee is at the maximum of the salary range, a one-time pay adjustment (equivalent to the pay increase) may be authorized. The employee s base rate of pay will remain unchanged. Board approved salary increases for personnel employed under federal/state grants will be granted only if the increases are budgeted in the grants.
