Union presses district to place seven employees on salary schedule; district cites military pay constraints
Summary
Bargaining unit said seven staff remain off the district salary schedule and asked for placements; district said several of those employees receive pay determined by an outside (military) agency and can compute placement only after further research. Parties agreed the district will return with placement details at a July 8 meeting.
At the opening of negotiations, the bargaining unit raised a procedural obstacle: seven employees, the union said, were not placed on the district's salary schedule and the unit asked for those placements to be recorded.
"We still have seven staff members not on the salary schedule," a bargaining‑unit representative said, pressing the district to either provide the placements immediately or allow bargaining to proceed while staff placements are researched.
District legal counsel Donald White and HR staff explained why the question is complex: several of the employees are paid under documentation from an outside agency (described in the discussion as military pay). "Some of those members are paid according to documentation that we receive from an outside agency," White said, noting the district must follow the external pay rules and that placing them on the schedule will not change the net gross pay they receive.
District staff offered to research the proper salary‑schedule placements and return their findings at a July 8 meeting. The union said it was frustrated that what had been flagged in November remained unresolved and stressed that clear placement on the salary schedule matters for parity across bargaining units.
No formal motion or vote occurred. Both sides agreed to reconvene on July 8 for placement details; the district said the change will require time to verify placement versus military minimum pay and to attribute stipends and supplements correctly.
Next steps: district to calculate suggested salary‑schedule placements for the seven employees and deliver that information to the bargaining unit ahead of the July 8 meeting.
