Standard Student Salary Step Progression:
Occurs annually through continued satisfactory performance by the student in the same assigned student grade level. Two semesters of active satisfactory performance within a twelve-month period will warrant a one step increase on their anniversary date. Employment for at least twelve weeks during the summer will be equivalent to one semester.
In-Grade Step Adjustment (INGR):
The salary step increases within a grade for a regular exempt or non-exempt staff employee. This action is distinguished from an exceptional placement request since it is a change to an existing assignment.
UA-HR Guidance:
