Academy of Science and Technology Personnel

Overview

Santa Fe College acts as the employer of personnel assigned to the Santa Fe College Academy of Science and Technology (the “Academy”). Conditions of employment and terms of compensation comport to those for other similarly situated SF employees unless otherwise expressly noted in this Salary Schedule as approved by the Santa Fe College Academy of Science and Technology Governing Board (the “Governing Board”). The Governing Board hereby delegates authority to the College President to approve updates to compensation practices that are required to maintain compliance with local, state or federal requirements until memorialized in the next approved Salary Schedule (by way of example, this may include minimum wage increases and Department of Labor exemption thresholds). Additionally, to maximize efficiencies and ensure employee recruitment and retention remain competitive throughout the year, the College President is further authorized to approve updates, new titles, title changes, and editorial changes to the Salary Schedule provided that said changes are in accordance with the annual approved budget. Budget changes must be approved by the Governing Board. 

Recommendations for appointments and beginning salaries are made to the designated College Human Resources Official. Offers of employment and appointments are made by the designated Human Resources Official, subject to approval by the Provost, Executive Director of Secondary Programs, and the Academy Principal in accordance with all applicable laws, rules, and policies. Recommendations for reappointments are made to the designated Human Resources Official by the Academy Principal and are subject to approval by the College President.  

When the desired effective date of an appointment predates the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Governing Board, the College President or his/her designee is authorized to tentatively approve the appointment. Such final authorization is to be made subject to approval of the Governing Board.
