April 14, 2021 - Requests for increases in compensation must be reasonable, allocable, and necessary. TDA utilizes the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Employment Cost Index data for March 2020 to determine its standard of reasonable.
The data supports base salary increases of 2.8% to 3.0%. TDA will consider the following salary increases using CACFP federal funding: 5% for routine annual or merit-based increases and 10% for promotional increases. Job description reviews may occur with promotional increases to ensure that the proposed change aligns with additional duties.
Promotional and annual, merit-based increase percentages may not be combined to exceed the thresholds provided by category. Further, promotional increases and raises may not be considered within the same year. Agencies may proceed with increases beyond the TDA allowable ranges but may not use CACFP funds to do so. Any such instances must use non-CACFP funds to cover the increases.
