Hard to Staff Positions

Hard to Staff Positions for 2008-2009

 

The following positions were approved as being Hard to Staff for the 2008-2009 school year at the January 30, 2008 meeting of the ProComp Transition Team.  ProComp employees assigned to these positions next year for a minimum of 89 days will receive a Hard to Staff bonus payment with their June 30, 2009 pay.  Paying one-twelfth of the bonus each month was determined to be a growing administrative burden proportional to the increasing number of ProComp employees.
