I am pleased to inform you that on Feb. 27, 2019, the LLCC Board of Trustees approved collective bargaining agreements for full-time and part-time faculty. With the new agreements in place, the college is moving forward with salary and insurance adjustments for administrators, classified staff and professional staff retroactive to July 1, 2018.

The college has increased the annual amount it contributes toward health insurance coverage from $10,400 to $10,920 for plan year 2019. On March 15, a premium refund will be issued for those covered under the Open Access Plan and a health savings account deposit or premium adjustment will occur for those covered under the High Deductible Plan.

On March 31, salaries will be adjusted to reflect a 3.97 percent increase retroactive to July 1, 2018 with a retroactive payment. Please note that salaries were already increased by 2 percent, so the adjustment will be for an additional 1.97 percent. Those employees who started on or after January 1, 2018 are only eligible for ½ of the overall increase. Only current, active employees are eligible for these adjustments. The Human Resources office will send individual correspondence with additional details.
