PROVISIONS AND APPLICATONS
OF
COPPELL INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT’S
SALARY SCHEDULE
A. State Salary Schedule The state minimum salary schedule for teachers, librarians and nurses distributed by the Texas Education Agency is on file in the office of the Chief Financial Officer. Compensation for all employees other than that of teachers, librarians and nurses is not governed by the state minimum salary schedule. The Superintendent and local Board must approve all salaries and/or supplements in this book before becoming operative. B. Hourly Employees District personnel employed on an hourly basis are hired and placed on a wage scale commensurate with the position and established by the Board of Trustees and Administration. Under no circumstances is an hourly worker to be placed on a higher hourly rate of pay without prior authorization from the Human Resources Department. C. Overtime Authorization All non-exempt employees as defined by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) will be compensated for overtime hours as prescribed by FLSA. Employees will accumulate compensatory time for extra hours worked. Accumulated compensatory time should be kept to a minimum (10 hours or less) by the end of fiscal year (August 31) leaving a small compensatory time balance at the beginning of the fiscal year (September 1). Employees on the bi-weekly pay plan will typically be paid for overtime hours worked on each paycheck. The appropriate supervisor must authorize all overtime hours worked, in advance. D. Benefits of the Coppell Independent School District
1. Payroll Deductions (optional) Each year the Coppell Independent School District provides all school employees the opportunity to voluntarily request payroll deductions approved by the Board of Education (Policy CFE).
2. Voluntary Insurance – The plan year for all benefits is September 1st through
August 31st. Since September 1, 2003, medical insurance for employees and dependents has been provided through the TRS Active-Care insurance plan. Health insurance is made available to full-time and part-time employees who work at least 10 regularly scheduled hours per week. All other benefits require a part time status of at least 20 hours per week. New employees who select a health insurance program can be covered as of the date of hire or on the first day of the month following the date of hire, contingent on approval. All other coverage is effective on the first
1
day of the month after hire. Annual enrollment for TRS ActiveCare will be held during the spring and summer months. The plan year for the health plan runs from September through August. The district currently contributes $311 per month towards the premiums for all full-time employees and $225 per month towards the premiums for all part-time employees. Employees working 30 or more hours a week are considered full-time. Employees working 20 hours per week, but less than 30 hours per week, and contributing to TRS are considered part-time. Employees may purchase dependent coverage through payroll deduction on a pre-tax basis. Employees working 10 or more regularly scheduled hours per week who do not contribute to TRS are eligible for health care coverage for themselves and eligible dependents but the district does not contribute towards the premium. Substitute employees are not eligible for health insurance. New employees are required to contact the Benefit Department within 30 days of hire to enroll or waive insurance coverage. Employees experiencing a family status change such as birth, death, divorce, marriage, loss of coverage through spouse employment or other dependent ineligibility must contact the Benefit Department within 30 days of the status change to enroll or change benefits. Coverage is contingent upon eligibility and approval. Additional information on the health plan can be found on the Benefits website at http://www.ffbenefits.com/coppellisd/. The District provides $10,000 of group term Life and Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) insurance for eligible employees working 20 or more hours per week who are enrolled for district medical coverage and $25,000 for eligible employees working 20 or more hours per week who have voluntarily waived district medical coverage. This coverage is at no cost to the employee and begins on the date of hire and ends on the date of termination. Dental and Vision coverage may be purchased by employees for themselves and eligible family members with employee premiums deducted on a pretax basis. Employees may purchase these insurances for themselves and eligible dependents within 30 days of hire, during open enrollment periods, or within 30 days of a status change.

3. Flexible Savings Accounts Fulltime and part-time employees contributing to TRS and working at least 20 hours per week may shelter a portion of their income from taxation by choosing to participate in the flexible reimbursement spending accounts program. The following options are available through payroll deduction: Dependent Care Reimbursement - Up to $416.66 per month of salary may be set aside for
reimbursement of qualified dependent care expenses. This benefit allows employees to save tax dollars on the cost of childcare. This benefit is a “use it or lose it” benefit; any monies left in the account at the end of the plan year are retained by the district and are not refundable to the employee. Employees may enroll within 30 days of hire, during open
3
enrollment periods, or within 30 days of a status change. More information is available at http://www.ffbenefits.com/coppellisd/.
• Medical Expense Reimbursement - This benefit permits the employee to pay for out-of-pocket medical, dental, vision and prescription expenses, up to an annual maximum of $2,500, for themselves and eligible dependents with before-tax dollars. Employees should conservatively select the deduction amount as this is a “use it or lose it” deduction. Federal law prohibits unused deducted funds from being returned to the employee. Employees may enroll within 30 days of hire, during open enrollment periods, or within 30 days of a status change. More information is available at http://www.ffbenefits.com/coppellisd/ .
4. Tax Sheltered Annuities, Mutual Funds and Deferred Compensation - Optional Payroll deductions may be arranged for federally qualified tax-sheltered 403(b) and 457(b) investments at any time during the year. The District does not sponsor nor endorse any 403(b) annuity product, company, representative, sales person or agent. The District has contracted with First Financial Administrators (FFA) to serve as the District’s third party administrator for 403(b)’s. FFA will audit all employee contributions to 403(b) annuities to ensure adherence to IRS guidelines. All District employees, including substitute employees, are eligible to enroll in an approved 403(b) Retirement Plan. Employees may self-enroll or select any qualified agent for the purchase of 403(b) annuities provided that the agent is approved with FFA. Please visit http://www.ffbenefits.com/coppellisd/ for a list of approved investments and agents. Please visit the Benefits Website at www.ffbenefits.com/coppellisd to find TRS and FFGA approved investments and investment agents. The District provides a District deferred compensation program through Region 10 under the provisions of Section 457 of the Federal Government Code, however, the District does not make any recommendation or claim as to the suitability of this plan for any employee. Region 10, through JEM Resources, will audit all contributions to 457(b) plans to ensure adherence to IRS guidelines. To enroll in the Region 10 457 Deferred Compensation Plan, please visit http://www.ffbenefits.com/coppellisd/. Only those employees contributing to TRS and working 20 or more hours per week are eligible to enroll in the District’s 457(b) Retirement Plan. E. Payday: See pay date charts at the back of the handbook.
F. Direct Deposit Direct deposit is available for all regular full-time, part-time, and substitute employees. Interested employees should contact the payroll manager at ext. 6012 for information on direct deposit. Although the process of depositing employee pay directly into his or her specified bank account is usually error free, occasionally direct deposits are rejected for various reasons. Employees are strongly encouraged to verify with their bank, savings association or credit union that their pay has, in fact, actually been deposited into their account prior to generating payments out of the account. The district cannot assume responsibility for overdraw situations which may result from any problem related to an employee’s direct payroll deposit. The district will attempt
4
to notify employees as soon as it becomes aware of a problem situation. Employees terminating will receive a paper paycheck in lieu of direct deposit as their final pay. G. Pay Cards Employees who do not choose Direct Deposit are required to receive pay via a Chase Pay Card. Interested employees should contact the payroll manager at ext. 6012 for details. H. Mandatory Deductions
• Medicare Tax - For all employees hired after April 1, 1986, a 1.45% Medicare Tax (FIMM) is deducted, which is matched by the District and sent to the Social Security Administration. The benefit of this tax to the employee is that at the age of 65 the employee would be eligible for free Medicare coverage if this tax or a combination of this tax and regular Social Security has been paid for at least ten years. This deduction is listed as “FIMM” on paychecks.
• Teacher Retirement - 6.4% of monthly gross salary is sent to the Teacher Retirement System of Texas (TRS) for deposit in the employee’s account. All qualified employees must become members of TRS. This money accumulates with interest as a tax-deferred retirement benefit. The state and the district contribute to the retirement system, also. Employees receive a vested retirement benefit with a minimum of five years of service. Employees who terminate without vesting can apply for a refund of all contributions or can request information regarding a rollover into an eligible retirement plan. This deduction is listed as “TRS-Reg” on paychecks.
• TRS-Care – .5% of gross salary is paid by each active TRS member to help support the Teacher Retirement System health care plan for retired employees. Employees who retire under TRS with at least ten years of service are eligible to purchase medical insurance coverage provided through TRS-Care. Several plans are available for employee and dependents that coordinate with Social Security and Medicare. A basic plan is available for retirees at no cost; others are available at various monthly premiums. This deduction is listed as “TRS Care” on paychecks.
• PST - Part-time, Seasonal and Temporary Retirement Plan - Substitute teachers and employees not eligible for TRS membership will be enrolled in the District's PST 457 alternative retirement plan in lieu of otherwise mandated Social Security participation. The PST plan is administered by JEM thru an inter-local agreement with ESC Region 10 effective August 1, 2004. Employees participating in the PST plan will contribute 7.5% of their gross salary to the plan. Participants may elect to withdraw or rollover their contributions from the system upon termination of employment. Employees who become eligible to participate in TRS will be eligible for an in-service distribution two years after the last contribution, and in the interim, the JEM account remains dormant, accumulating interest as a tax deferred retirement benefit until eligible for in-service distribution or termination of employment. Federal law prohibits an in-service distribution for employees with at least a $5,000 balance until retirement age, death or permanent disability. Other employees not eligible for TRS must contribute 6.2% to the federally mandated Social Security plan. Employees who participated in the PST plan administered by KAZDON may request distribution of their
5
contributions, under the same conditions, pending the district's request to Region 10 to transfer those accounts to JEM for administration.
• Federal Income Tax - All employees are subject to payment of Federal Income Tax, sometimes referred to as withholding tax. Calculation of the tax amount deducted is determined by the number of withholding allowances claimed by the employee and claimed designation of married or single on the Federal Form W-4. The tax percent paid is based on the wages paid. Federal Income Tax is listed as “W/H” on paychecks.
There is no Social Security participation for full-time or substitute employees because of participation in TRS or an alternative FICA/qualified retirement plan. Government employers are not required to participate in Social Security. I. Optional Deductions
• Credit Union of Texas
• Flexible Benefits - child care & medical reimbursement
• Insurance – employee & dependent medical, dental, vision, accident, medical gap, life, cancer, critical illness, heart & stroke, disability and long term care
J. Fiscal Years for Ten-, Eleven-, and Twelve-month Employees For pay purposes the fiscal year for personnel is listed below:
• Ten-month employees are those employees assigned to work from 187 to 197 days per year. These employees will receive their salary during the 12-month period from September

K. Work Schedules
All district employees will follow regular work schedules as outlined. If needed, principals may assign personnel to come in early to supervise students before the start of the school day. Principals should schedule the working hours of secretaries and instructional assistants in their building to fit that building’s individual needs. CISD paraprofessionals’ workday is 8 hours. Daily pay rates are adjusted for those employees who work 8 hours per day. Guidelines of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) shall apply to paraprofessional and support auxiliary employees who are non-exempt and therefore subject to overtime/compensatory time rules. Teachers and other professionals are exempt from overtime/compensatory time rules of the FLSA. L. Supplemental Salary for Advanced Degrees 1. Supplemental salary amounts are paid for degrees conferred or hours earned by September 1
and reported to the Human Resources Department by the announced deadline. 2. All teachers, librarians, and nurses who have a master’s degree from an accredited institution
are eligible to receive $1,200 annually. Similarly, $1,200 annually will be paid for individuals having a doctorate degree from an accredited institution. These supplements are reflected in a local stipend added to the employee’s salary on the Bachelor’s pay schedule.
3. Speech therapists that hold a license from the American Speech-Language-Hearing
Association (ASHA) are eligible to receive a $2,000 stipend added to their salary. Licensed Professional Counselors are eligible to receive a $2,000 stipend added to their salary.
4. It is the responsibility of the employee to notify the Human Resources Department of
advanced degrees, licensing or any other certification and to provide OFFICIAL
7
TRANSCRIPTS by the announced deadline each year. Pay adjustments for degrees earned are effective at the beginning of the employee’s compensation year as determined by the number of months worked per year.
M. Salary Supplements for Extra Duties Salary supplements are paid for additional services provided in specified positions. These supplements are shown in the attached salary supplement schedules and will not appear as a separate item listed on pay stubs. Examples of extra duties for which extra compensation is received are sponsoring co-curricular activities, coaching, serving as department heads or team leaders, club and organizations sponsoring. Supplemental amounts will be paid in increments of 1/12 each month except for mentor and supervising teachers for student teachers which are paid per semester. N. Mileage Reimbursement The maximum mileage reimbursement rate allowed by the IRS is posted on the State Comptroller’s website http://ecpa.cpa.state.tx.us/mileage/Mileage.jsp Proper forms must be submitted and approved by appropriate supervisors for reimbursements to be made. Principals and directors may choose to reimburse for travel costs at a lower rate based on budget constraints. This rate is subject to change according to adjustments made by the Internal Revenue Service.
O. Substitute Employee Pay Substitute teachers will be compensated according to the following design: POSITION DAILY RATE LONG TERM
Certified $85.00 $ 150.00 Degreed $80.00 $ 150.00 Non-Certified/Non-Degreed $75.00 $ 98.34 Para-professional $70.00 $ 98.34 Long-term assignments occur when a contracted teacher is approved for a temporary disability or family medical leave. If the long-term substitute teacher is absent from the assignment, the substitute called for that assignment will be paid according to the design listed above. P. Sick Leave - State Personal Leave Ten days of paid leave are provided per year to each employee, five of which are awarded by the state and five of which are local days to be used as provided in board policy. There is no limit on the accumulation of these days from year to year of continuous employment. These days are advanced on the first day an employee reports to work; however, if the employee does not complete the school year, the number of days actually used will be reconciled against the actual time worked to determine if unearned days have been used/paid and will be adjusted accordingly
8
on the final paycheck (one-half day of state personal leave and one-half day of local sick leave is earned for every eighteen days worked in the school year). An employee must be entitled to 180 days of pay to receive the full 10 days of leave. Once state and local days are exhausted employees will be docked immediately at the appropriate daily rate. An employee with previous experience in a Texas school district will bring into CISD any state days, which were earned and not used which are recorded on the Service Record. State sick days, which were accumulated prior to June 30, 1995, must be used only for personal or family illness, death in family or family emergency. State mandated personal leave days earned after June 30, 1995 may be used for any purpose, but there are some restrictions on when these days may be used for discretionary purposes. The use of all leave days, state and local, is governed by board policy DEC (local). Employees may also join the district Sick Bank by contributing one of their local sick days at the time they join and at other times when the balance in the Sick Bank reaches a prescribed minimum. Days from the Sick Bank are awarded to members for catastrophic illness or accident after all personal and other leave is exhausted. The Sick Bank Committee may award a maximum of 30 days annually and up to 60 days lifetime. First year members are restricted to 10 days during their first year of membership. More information on this benefit is presented in the Sick Bank Policy. Attendance incentive for classroom teachers and other employees - The purpose of this attendance incentive is to encourage minimal use of state and local days and reward employees who strive to attain perfect attendance. This reduces the cost for substitute employees, employee overtime and optimizes the educational benefit to our students. This incentive is available for employees in the following categories:
• Employees working on a 10-month school year schedule
• Employees working on an 11-month school year schedule except administrators on pay schedules 28 and above
• Employees working on a 12-month (year round) schedule except administrators on pay schedules 28 and above
• Bi-weekly paid support service employees This incentive is not available for the following employees
• Any monthly paid employee on pay schedules 28 through 34.
• Substitute and temporary employees
• Employees who are not entitled to accrue state days.
• Employees who were not yet employed as of the first day of the annual calendar for their position.
• Employees who take FMLA and use more than 2 total days of either State, Personal, Sick Bank, or dock days
• Employees that work less than 20 hours per week.
9
Eligible full-time employees are entitled to a maximum payment of $500 in accordance with the conditions set forth in number 1 below; Eligible part-time employees are entitled to a maximum payment of $250 in accordance with the conditions set forth in number 1 below; Eligible fulltime employees are entitled to a maximum payment of $200 in accordance with the conditions set forth in number 2 below; Eligible part-time employees are entitled to a maximum payment of $100 in accordance with the conditions set forth in number 2 below;
1. No state or local days or portion thereof were used during the scheduled work days for the completed school year. This includes 10-month child nutrition workers. The only exception to this rule is jury duty or a staff development absence or school business.
2. Two days or less were used during the scheduled work days for the completed school
year.
Monthly paid employees who work at least 40 hours per week are eligible for the full payment of $500. Bi-weekly paid Child Nutrition employees who work less than 6 hours per day are eligible for a payment of $250.
Payments to monthly paid employees and child nutrition workers will be paid following the completion of the days in their scheduled work year. Payments to year-round bi-weekly paid maintenance employees will be paid in September based on entitlement for the previous year. Payment for this benefit is contingent upon the appropriation of funding for this purpose in the annual district budget. The District reserves the right to suspend or curtail this benefit based on non-appropriation of funds.
Q. Absences
In order to accurately document absences for sickness, workers comp injuries and personal leave it is essential that employee’s absences are documented in the SmartFind Express System. This must be done in order to properly maintain service records and for workers’ comp reporting. Campus and department administrators shall maintain adequate documentation at their campus and department to ensure that each employee works the appropriated number of days for which they are being paid. Pre-planned absences must be approved by a supervisor in advance. Absences that do not fall within district guidelines have to be approved by Central Office. Absences due to sickness and other non-planned situations must be entered in SmartFind Express according to district timelines. Employees with five or more consecutive absences must submit a Request for Long
Term Leave form to the Personnel Department. Job protected leave is granted according to Federal FMLA law, TEA and local board policy. Failure to enter absences in SmartFind Express in a timely manner could result in loss of pay and inability to properly complete service records.
10
All non-exempt employees that receive non-duty days should record the use of these
awarded days in SmartFind Express. Non-duty days should be used within a one year
period. For example employees whose reasonable assurance of employment that begins on
July 1, 2013 will have until August 31, 2014 to use the non-duty days awarded.
R. Resignation and Release from Contract According to Coppell ISD Policy DFE, “an employee under a probationary contract or a term contract for the following school year may relinquish the position and leave district employment without penalty by filing a written resignation with the Board designee not later than the 45th day before the first day of instruction of the following school year. A written resignation mailed by prepaid certified or registered mail to the Board’s designee is considered filed at the time of mailing.” If there is a need for the contractual employee to resign after July 1, the employee must contact the Assistant Superintendent of Administration or the Director of Human Resources for a conference. Approval of the resignation will be considered if:
• A relocation of a spouse to another area is necessary;
• An individual receives a promotion within the field of education;
• Health or physical disability. At-will employees must give a two-week written notice of resignation to their supervisor. S. Calculation of Pay Raises Hiring schedules are adopted for a one-year period only. They reflect the salary for each employee based on the schedule and step the employee is placed on. They do not predict any future raises beyond the year for which they are prepared. The only state requirement for salaries is that the District pay teachers at a rate at least equal to that stated in the Minimum Salary Schedule for Classroom Teachers, Full-time Librarians and Nurses as stated in Section 21.402 of the Texas Education Code. Each year the Board of Trustees adopts a new set of hiring schedules as part of the official budget process. For 2013-2014 the Board of Trustees has elected to provide a 3% raise. In Schedules 22 through 34, the various steps are not meant to reflect years of service.
Placement on a particular step is based on education and relevant experience.
In the Bachelor’s pay schedule, employees are placed on the pay plan at the step which reflects the number of years of Texas educational experience they are credited with on the official service record. An additional stipend of $1200 is added for those employees with Masters’ Degrees. Out of state experience is also considered when placing an employee on the pay plan.
