When can qualifying employees expect to receive raises and/or retro checks?

(Pending approval by TALB and the Board of Education)

• May to June – 4% retroactive checks for 2023-24 (covering July 2023 to April/May 2024).
• May to June – regular paychecks will include ongoing raises.
• September – off-schedule check, which is 4% of an employee’s earnings from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024.
