We are pleased to notify you that NAGE has entered into an agreement with the Trial Court for a job reclassification plan that will benefit all NAGE members. The agreement provides as follows:

• Reclassifications will go into effect January 27, 2025.
• Two weeks after January 2025, the NAGE-negotiated 3% salary increase will go into effect for all members.
• Member's current step dates will remain unchanged.
• The promotional factor in the contract will be improved to a minimum 5% increase.
• The new starting vacation rate will be 3 weeks per year. Employees currently accruing less than 3 weeks will move to a 3 week accrual schedule.
• The new starting salary step will be Step 3. Employees below Step 3 will move up to Step 3 upon conversion.

The new salary schedule will look different than the current schedule, with more value between steps, and in some case new top steps. The overall average value of the new scale is 3% higher than the previous scale.
 
As many employees know, this proposed plan has been under discussion for some time. Credit goes to your Local President for working to ensure the best possible outcome from these negotiations, and for their insistence that we not move forward until we had assurances that we had secured the best possible outcome for our members.

 

You should have received an email showing the changes in your job series as well as your individual increase. If you did not receive this email, please reach out to Kelly Warner at kwarner@nage.org to request a copy.
