Peralta\u2019s Office of Human Resources has advised PFT that pay increases included in the October 2013 Agreement on Re-openers will start to appear in faculty paychecks in November.<\/p>\n
Full-time faculty will see a 3.65% increase starting with their November paychecks; separate retro checks reflecting the 3.65% raise from July 1-Oct. 31 will be issued in December.<\/p>\n
All part-timers will see a 1.57% COLA in their November paychecks; separate retro checks for those remaining on Steps 1-7 will be issued in December. For folks on new Steps 8-25, regular paychecks will reflect the new placement\u2014and separate retro checks will be issued\u2014in January at the latest.<\/p>\n
The reason for the lag for part-timers on the new steps is the 30-day period they will have to verify their placement on the modified pay schedule. On Nov. 12, HR will send step-placement letters via US Mail to the home addresses of part-time faculty, who will then have 30 days to appeal their placement to district HR.<\/p>\n
The raises reflect a 4% increase in overall faculty compensation. Full-timers\u2019 4% includes dollars that go to covering professional development and increases in dental costs; part-timers\u2019 4% includes 1.57% across-the-board raises and increases worth significantly more for longtime faculty, some of whom will \u201cjump up the steps\u201d and get well above the 4% all-faculty average.<\/p>\n
Don’t miss the PFT local chapter meetings that are being held now on campuses, plus the next General Membership Meeting: Tuesday, November 19, Merritt College, Room R23, 3-5pm.<\/p>\n
