REA & RSD Reach Tentative Agreements on Retention & Recruitment Bonuses!!!

RSD and REA have reached a tentative agreement on retention, recruitment, and referral bonuses.  The agreement is tentative until the RSD Board has met and the MOU documents are signed by both sides.  Here are the bare facts with further details to come once the MOU is ratified:

-Retention Bonus will be for a total of $4,500.  The first $2,500 installment on July 13 will be in the form of a paper check mailed to members.  Please be advised the bonus will be taxed at approximately 31%, which will give each member a check for approximately $1,725.  There will be two subsequent payments during the next school year at $1,000 each, or approximately $690 take home.

-There will be a recruitment bonus paid to new hires of $4,000 also taxed at the same rate.

-There will be a referral bonus of $500.

REA will publish the full text of the MOU once it is signed.  Your leadership team would like to thank all members for their input, support, and patience during this lengthy process.
