EdNC Hannah McClellan | :When will N.C. school employees see pay raises? - The new state budget, which passed Sept. 22 and became effective on Oct. 3, included base salary raises ranging from 3.6 to 10.8% for teachers over the next two years — with larger raises going to beginner teachers. The salary raises for all employees are retroactive to July 1. Because the budget became effective this month, this month’s paycheck is the earliest that educators can expect to see those raises. However, recent guidance from the N.C. Department of Public Instruction (DPI) says “there is no timeline stipulated related to implementing the salary changes or providing the retroactive adjustments.” “It is advised to get those completed prior to December 31st,” a DPI presentation says.
You can view the updated salary schedules for 2023-24 on DPI’s website, and the history of legislative increases from 1992 to the present on OSHR’s website. You can also read about the budget’s supplements outlined for educators at this EdNC article.
