The Professional Advancement Program is defined in Section 35 of Title 4, Chapter 3 in the Board of Regents Handbook. It provides mechanisms for advancing skills or a degree to move on the salary schedule. 5.5 Salary Adjustments 1. TMCC will work with TMCC-NFA through shared governance bodies when formulating policies and procedures related to salary adjustments for the collective bargaining unit, including Cost of Living Adjustments, Merit Increases, Salary Equity Studies and Adjustments, Rank Advancement, and so on. Resulting policies will be published by the administration and maintained jointly with faculty. TMCCNFA recognizes that during periods of financial difficulty, such as when the biennial state budget is cut by ten (10) percent or more, plans regarding salary changes may need to be paused or reconfigured and the administration may require added flexibilities. Where the college must consider budget reduction measures, the administration will consult with TMCC-NFA and other employee groups through shared governance bodies to seek input from all stakeholders. 2.
