HRS §302A-629

Pay when demoted or school rating drops

This section covers pay for educational officers who are demoted or whose school rating drops. If demoted, you keep your old salary for one year, then get paid at the new job's rate. If your school's rating drops, you keep your same salary as long as you stay in the same position at that school, unless the department says otherwise.

The statute, as written — Educational officers; demotion, transfers

Any educational officer demoted to a position in a lower salary range shall continue to be paid the educational officer's previous salary for the first year of the educational officer's demotion, after which time the educational officer shall be compensated at the appropriate step in the salary range to which the educational officer has been demoted. Unless otherwise provided by the department, any educational officer who is in a school in which the school rating has declined to a number that would place the educational officer in a lower classification shall continue to be paid at the educational officer's same salary range as long as the educational officer remains in the same position in the same school.
