Who can I contact with questions about my contract or pay, including incorrect salary placement, incorrect FTE, or incorrect contract type? 

First, please sign and submit your issued contract. You will be issued a revised contract if your contract information changes. Then, contact Data Management at HRDatamanagement@nsd.org. 

Are you new to Northshore this year?

Data Management may not have received all of your experience and academic credit documentation. As we receive and post your documentation your salary placement will be updated, you will be issued a revised contract, and you will receive retroactive pay. 

What is ‘Annual FTE’?

Your Annual FTE is a calculation based on the number of contracted days in your assignment and the number of hours you work per day. A 1.0 FTE equals a 180 day contract working 7.5 hours per day. For example, you may be a 0.5 FTE if you are contracted to work 180 days at 3.75 hours/day OR you may be a 0.5 FTE if you are contracted to work 90 days at 7.5 hours/day. 

When will I receive my stipend? 

Contract-defined Extended Days stipends, travel stipends, and department head stipends are paid beginning September 30th.

Stipends for activities, athletics, extra-curricular, music, and TRT assignments are paid beginning October 31st.
