Dear Colleagues,


GOOD NEWS!!


On June 19, 2012, the Essex County College Board of Trustees approved our new contract agreement.


One of the more important points of the contract is our new rate of pay:


2011-2012=$647 per credit (retroactive)


2012-2013=$667


2013-2014=$687


Everyone who taught during the 2011-2012 school year will get a retroactive check reflecting the difference in pay.


The written document will be available on this website and everyone will get a hard copy of it. As of now, there are a few corrections that must be made to the drafted document. The corrections will be made in a few weeks, as key people in the process are scheduled for vacations throughout the summer.


We thank you for your support during the whole process.


Enjoy your summer.
