Proration of Salary

North East ISD prorates the gross pay for all Certified and Paraprofessional employees. Proration is a calculation which distributes the payment equally over a set period of time. For employees that are not scheduled to work during the summer months or holiday breaks, this means that you will still receive your normal standard gross during those periods.

Professionals and paraprofessional employees have their salary prorated equally over a specific number of payments for the school year. Prorated salaries are based on the number of days in your work schedule, scheduled hours per day, and hourly rate. Please see example below:

NON-EXEMPT FORMULA TO CALCULATE BIWEEKLY STANDARD GROSS

  • Daily Rate = Hourly rate x Number of hours per day
  • Annual Base Salary = Daily rate x Number of days in work schedule
  • Standard Biweekly Gross Pay = Annual Base Salary / 26 biweekly payments

EXAMPLE FOR NON-EXEMPT WHO STARTED THE FIRST DAY OF THE WORK SCHEDULE

  • Hourly Rate = $11.00
  • Days in work schedule = 179
  • Daily Rate = $11.00 x 8 hrs = $88.00
  • Annual Base Salary = $88.00 x 179 days = $15,752
  • Biweekly Gross Pay = $15,752 / 26 biweekly payments = $605.85 standard gross per check

EXAMPLE FOR EXEMPT WHO STARTED THE FIRST DAY OF THE WORK SCHEDULE

  • Annual Base Salary = $60,000
  • Standard Monthly Gross Pay = $60,000 / 12 payments = $5,000 standard gross per check

LATE / MID-YEAR HIRES

Annual salary and gross pay will be adjusted based on hire date, actual work days remaining in the work schedule and payments remaining for the specific school year.

EXAMPLE FOR NON-EXEMPT LATE HIRE: Employee was hired 12/5/2019, making $11/hour, will be working 106 days, and has 18 checks remaining to pay this school year.

Using the same formula above for non-exempt, the BW standard gross for this employee will be $518.22.

NOTE: The above examples are for illustration purposes only and do not factor in any deductions or other benefits selected by individual employees.
