We’re excited to announce that the Central Rivers AEA Board of Education has approved an early contract signing incentive for all Central Rivers AEA staff members!
This incentive is a direct reflection of the Board’s appreciation for your ongoing dedication and commitment to the students and families we serve. It’s also a way to recognize the exceptional work you’ve done, particularly during the challenging times we’ve navigated together.
Here are the key details regarding this incentive:
- Amount: $500 per eligible staff member.
- Payment Date: This incentive will be paid out as a separate deposit in June 2025. Please note that standard taxes will be withheld from this payment.
- Eligibility: To receive this incentive, you must:
- Accept and return your employment contract within five business days of receiving it. (Please note: You still have the standard 10 days for Classified, NUSS and Administrative staff and 21 days for Certified staff to sign your contract/NOC, but only five business days to receive the incentive).
- Have received an employment contract/NOC during the 2024-25 school year and remain employed with CRAEA through the 2025-2026 school year.
- Proration: The $500 incentive will be prorated based on your FTE for the 2025-2026 school year, if you work less than 1.0 FTE.
- Ineligibility: Staff members who have received an early notification incentive are ineligible for this retention incentive.
- Recoupment: If you receive this incentive but do not complete your 2025-2026 contract, we will recoup a prorated amount for each month you did not work.
To confirm your understanding of these requirements and to receive the incentive, please sign and accept your contract within the five-day time frame. If you choose not to receive the incentive, please wait until after the five-day time frame to sign your contract, or communicate your decision to the Human Resources Office.
We understand that you will have to wait until June for the incentive to be paid out, but hopefully, it comes at a time that can help you enjoy the summer! We are truly grateful for your continued commitment to our agency.
