On Jan. 18, HCPSS Superintendent Dr. Michael Martirano shared with staff the news that all permanent employees will receive a bonus this school year. This is to clarify details around that bonus.
Here are the specifics of the payment procedure:
- All full-time permanent employees (1.0 FTE positions) will receive $1,800 in bonus payments. The bonus payments to part-time permanent employees will be prorated (i.e., a .6 FTE employee will receive bonus payments equivalent to 60% of the $1,800 with all of the same caveats listed below.)
- The bonus will be paid in two equal installments. The first installment will be issued as part of the 2/4/22 paychecks. The second installment will be issued as part of the final regular pay in June, on 6/24/22.
- To be eligible for a bonus payment, the employee must be on active duty or on an FMLA-protected leave on the dates listed below. Staff on paid administrative leave due to COVID-19 are considered as being on active duty.
- 1/25/22 for the first installment
- 6/1/22 for the second installment
- Permanent new hires and rehires who begin work on 1/26/22 or later will not be eligible for either payment.
- All applicable deductions will be withheld.
