Hello everyone,
Good morning.
I have a few questions for which I need some guidance form the community.
1) What kind of salary structure would be best and fair for a private school?
We pay good salary but as the school is growing we need a structure when recruiting teachers for the same subjects with different levels of experience and teaching different classes - PRT/GT/PGT
2) For calculation of yearly increase in base salary can we use the percentage of inflation rate?
Awaiting responses from the community.
Warm regards,
Phuntsog Pulger

Hi Phuntsog-Pulger
Salary Structure for a Private School:
Creating a fair and effective salary structure for teachers in a private school involves considering various factors such as experience, qualifications, and responsibilities. Here's a suggestion for a tiered salary structure:
a) PRT (Primary Teacher):
Entry Level: Base Salary
Mid-Level (3-5 years of experience): Base Salary + Increment
Senior Level (more than 5 years of experience): Base Salary + Additional Increment
b) GT (General Teacher):
Entry Level: Base Salary + Increment
Mid-Level (3-5 years of experience): Base Salary + Additional Increment
Senior Level (more than 5 years of experience): Base Salary + Additional Increment
c) PGT (Post Graduate Teacher):
Entry Level: Base Salary + Additional Increment
Mid-Level (3-5 years of experience): Base Salary + Additional Increment
Senior Level (more than 5 years of experience): Base Salary + Additional Increment
You can adjust the increments based on the local market standards and the school's budget.
Yearly Increase in Base Salary:
Using the percentage of the inflation rate is a common practice for salary adjustments. However, it's essential to consider other factors like the school's financial health, budget constraints, and overall economic conditions. Here's a simple formula:
New Base Salary = Current Base Salary + (Current Base Salary * Inflation Rate)
Additionally, you may want to consider merit-based increases for exceptional performance or additional responsibilities. Keep in mind that the inflation rate is just one factor, and a comprehensive review of the school's financial situation should guide decisions on salary adjustments.
It's also beneficial to stay informed about industry standards and local benchmarks to ensure that your school remains competitive in attracting and retaining qualified teachers. Ultimately, involving key stakeholders, such as teachers and administrators, in the decision-making process can contribute to the success and fairness of the salary structure.
