Compensation & Benefits

Employees are paid in accordance with administrative guidelines and a pay structure established for each position. The district’s pay plans are reviewed by the administration each year and adjusted as needed. All district positions are classified as exempt or nonexempt according to federal law. Professional and administrative employees are generally classified as exempt and are paid monthly salaries. They are not entitled to overtime com­pensation. Other employees are generally classified as nonexempt and are paid based on hourly wages or salary and receive compensatory time or overtime pay for each overtime hour worked beyond 40 in a workweek.

Teacher retirement

All personnel employed on a regular basis for at least one-half of the normal work sched­ule are members of the Teacher Retirement System of Texas (TRS). Substitutes not receiv­ing TRS service retirement benefits who work at least 90 days a year are also eligible for TRS membership and to purchase a year of creditable service. TRS provides members with an annual statement of their account showing all deposits and the total account bal­ance for the year ending August 31, as well as an estimate of their retirement benefits.
