Introduction
Compensation Packet On School District In USA 2

Teachers are entitled to these types of compensations as well. In this case, I will consider

the case of Lexington School District in the United States. I will consider having a look at how

the school caters for the employees who are working for it (Nyberg, Pieper and Trevor, 2016). I

will have a look at the pay scale that is entitled to the administration, leaders and teachers. Apart

from the pay scale, I will have a look at the health benefits, time spent at work, bonus,

retirements, contracts and finally we have the holidays or the work offs.

Polices on compensation and contracts

The pay scales for those who are working for the Lexington county school district one

have various policies. In most cases, the compensation of the workers of the institution is based

on some factors that are of great concern. One of these is the fact that the responsibility one is

attached to in this institution is far much respected. Therefore, all the compensation that is given

is dependent on this responsibility factor. It is also dependent on the level of experience that

someone has in his practice. The compensation is outlined in on the group factor. The

advancements or adjustments to be made are usually encouraged and employees will be allowed

to from place to place or can also advance in their roles.

In order to ensure that the compensation contract is as per the stated policies, there are

some things that must be fully considered. One of these is the employment contract. The school

ensures that there is a contract between management and various employees within the

institution. Through this contract, there will be various policies regarding compensation as per

the school leadership. These policies must be fully adopted during the day of employment for the

worker or even the teaching staff. The policy of fairness must be fully recognized by the

organization. The school will ensure that the responsibility given is performed to the best of

ability to ensure that everything is in place. The contract given out must be fulfilled within the

period that has been stated by Lexington County School.

Lexington County School Pay Scale

To begin with, I would consider the pay that the various teachers in the institution are

entitled to. Lexington county school district has almost 30 schools in almost all the parts of the

United States. The number of teachers who are also serving there is very huge and if estimated, it

can even hit over two thousand teachers. The administration and the teaching staff salaries are

usually proposed by the school management.

In an overview, the salaries for the preschool teachers will be paid $29600, kindergarten

teachers will be paid $49, 280 each, and high school teacher will be paid $49,490 at the end of

the month. This means that the High school teacher is the one who will be paid more.

When one has a look at the estimated value that the administrator will achieve as benefits,

he/she will realize that they will be receiving benefits amounting to almost $17,010 for the

teachers and $29, 400 for the administrators. The leaders of the institution even earn much better

than that in the process. This is because they are the core factors for the development of the

institution.

Other compensations

Health compensations

On the sides of health compensations, the institution offers different insurance offers that

are related to the same. Some of these insurances will include, life assurance, dental insurance,

they also offer defence benefits of health to those who are serving in the military. These coverage

and compensation will be effective from the first day of the month of serious work.

Working times

There are also compensations that are given that depend on the hours of work. This is

entirely dependent on the time that one works for. If any employee is able to work for some extra

time, they will be awarded with compensatory time offs. This is awarded in terms of one and one

half hours for each extra hour worked.

Holidays and leaves

Holidays and leaves are also considered by Lexington. The holidays that can be offered

here are leave without pay, annual leave, leave taken for the purpose of military assignments and

even death of family members. In most cases, all these are usually not counted as time worked.

These periods are usually not included in the compensable time and therefore are not entitled to

overtime pay.

Retirement

Lexington also provides all the workers who have retired with their retirement benefits.

This will occur if the whole process is as per the set of rules in the school. Anyone who will have

retired will be eligible to these benefits as a whole.

Equity in benefit compensation

Lexington county school district has equality and equity as the key success towards all

the services that they are able to offer. This is seen particularly in how they are able to sort out

the issues to do with benefit compensation. The school ensures that there is equitable distribution

of the benefits among the stakeholders and all its employees. The compensation is done as per

the polies outlined in the compensation and contract book. All the highlighted rules in this

document are followed without discrimination. This ensures that each and every one is able to

get what they are supposed to get.
