UFT instructional employees who are rated via the Advance system may have their pay frozen if they received an Ineffective/I rating for the previous school year. Employees paid below Step 8B and who received an Ineffective rating for a particular school year will have their pay frozen on a future paycheck. You should have received prior notification from the DOE to your school email. If there have been overpayments, payroll will notify you and those will be recovered.
However, if you were previously frozen due to an Ineffective rating in a prior school year, but received a recent rating of Highly Effective, Effective or Developing, your pay will be unfrozen and restored on a later paycheck. The check will include any arrears due.
