In responding to Gov. Beverley Perdue's April 28th Executive Order, the Wake County Board of Education approved a reduction of wages in the amount of 0.5 percent of annualized salary for all WCPSS employees including members of the Board of Education.
The action came in the board's May 5 meeting.
The reduction of salary will occur in the May 2009 paychecks of WCPSS employees. The salary reduction will apply to all employees across the district and cover all salary amounts, including any local supplements.
Board members indicated their action was taken during extraordinary times of financial challenges to address a reduction in the current operational budget, to assure fairness to all employees regardless of funding source and to stay in line with the past practice of applying state salary increases to all employees and to all salary amounts including local supplements.
Governor Perdue's executive order stated that in exchange for the reduction of wages, 10 hours of flexible leave will be granted employees to be used between June 1 and December 31, 2009.
