How did the District determine the Base Wage Increase?

• “Current Positions” defined by WERC rules
ERC 90.03 Calculation of Maximum Amount Subject to Collective Bargaining. To calculate the
maximum dollar amount subject to collective bargaining over base wages for collective bargaining
agreements entered into on or after June 29, 2011, do all of the following:
(1) Identify all of the authorized positions that existed 180 days prior to the expiration date of the most
recent collective bargaining agreement. If this is the initial bargaining agreement for this bargaining
unit, identify the authorized positions that existed 180 days prior to the last day before the first day of
the agreement.
(2) Determine the hourly, or annual, if applicable, base wage rate for each authorized position. The hourly,
or annual, base wage rate is the hourly or annual rate applicable to the position excluding supplemental
compensation which includes but is not limited to, education credits or credentials in pay schedules,
overtime, premium pay, lump sum merit pay, performance pay, and extra duty pay.
(3) If applicable, multiply the hourly base wage rate by the annual number of regularly scheduled hours
for each authorized position.
(4) Total the annual base wages for all authorized positions.
(5) Multiply the total base wage amount by the applicable consumer price index change.
The resulting dollar amount is the maximum amount subject to collective bargaining.
