Common use of Compensation Model Clause in Contracts

Compensation Model. 1. Employees with a Master’s Degree or higher will be placed in the MA column. All other certified staff members will be placed in the BA column. 2. Salary increases will be given to effective and highly effective teachers under the compensation model described below to create the compensation placement table found in Appendix D. Fifty percent (50%) of the possible increase in salary is based on evaluation and fifty percent (50%) is based on academic needs or education. a. No teacher rated “ineffective” or “improvement necessary” will receive any increase in compensation and will remain at the same level of compensation as the previous year. Based on anticipated evaluation results, the parties believe that all funds will be distributed and that no redistribution will be necessary. However, in the event that there are funds that were otherwise allocated for teachers rated “ineffective” or “improvement necessary”, those funds will be equally redistributed to all teachers rated “effective” or “highly effective”. The redistribution will be paid as a stipend in the last payroll of the school year. b. Teachers in their first two full school years of instructing students are exempt from the evaluation eligibility requirement as stated in IC 20-28-9-1.5(e), (f)-.
