The Harmony Public Schools Board of Directors has approved a “Season of Thanks” appreciation bonus for 2023 to be distributed to all employees the last work week before the Thanksgiving holiday.

As part of the Board’s show of support of Harmony employees, the bonus will amount to 5 percent of each employee’s annual salary. That means all Harmony teachers will receive a minimum of $2,700, with many receiving more based on their step levels.
 

A one-time bonus will be paid the week of November 13, 2023, that is equal to 5% of the employee’s annual salary, minus regular taxes and other employee contributions. A $300 flat amount will be paid to all eligible temp workers, including interns, tutors and crossing guards.  To be eligible, employees must have received a paycheck at the end of October and remain actively employed as of Nov 10. Substitutes are not eligible for this bonus. Total estimated amount of bonuses to be issued: $13.5 million.
 

“I commend our Board and administrators for being outstanding stewards of our finances and allowing us to show our gratitude in this special way,” Harmony Chief Executive Officer Fatih Ay said.
