When a particular skill is in such demand
that the supply of personnel in this
area makes it extremely difficult to
obtain such a person, a situational
occurrence factor may be used which
is a set dollar amount. This amount
is added to the total after the formula
is computed. Situational occurrence
adjustments must be approved by the
President. |

responsibilities, projects and/or assignments
are sometimes necessary to the mission
and operation of the college, the President
may add a salary supplement to an employee's
salary. The supplement is not considered
in calculating the base salary, but
is a fixed rate and in addition to the
total computed monthly salary. The supplement
shall cease when the additional duties,
responsibilities, projects and/or assignments
are completed or reassigned. |
