PLEASE EMAIL ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE

In the interest of
everyone’s sanity,
SCARY LARRY…
Understanding Davis School District’s Leave
Policies
ATTENDANCE AT TRAININGS
Educators are provided 5 Professional Days
School trainings on Professional Days shall be
planned in consultation with our department’s JSSC.
January 18, 2012 – 2 Hour Training
Educators new to Davis District are obliged to attend
new employee trainings that may require time in
addition to their regular contract days.
WHAT ARE MY OBLIGATIONS
BEYOND CONTRACT TIME?
FULL-TIME LICENSED EMPLOYEES
Administrators may require their faculties to
attend up to 2 monthly meetings of 45 minutes each
immediately before or after school . Attendance at
these meetings is not optional and shall not entitle
educators to additional compensation. (6.11.1[c])
In addition, Counselors and related servers will
receive 2 hours of released time per month to attend
District professional development activitites (4.13.4)
PART-TIME LICENSED EMPLOYEES
…part-time employees shall be subject to the same
District policies, procedures, and assignments as any
other licensed employees. They shall attend faculty
meetings, parent/teacher conferences and other
meetings required by the principal without
additional compensation. (6.2.3)
Part-time employees are expected to work their
regular hours AND attend faculty/staff training
days.
BUT I WORK 20 HOURS/WEEK OR LESS!
In consultation with DEA, it has been determined that it is
reasonable to require employees who work 20 hours or less
weekly to attend 1.5 hours of training 1 time per month
without additional compensation.
These employees are strongly encouraged to attend a full
½ day of training once per month (faculty/staff training
day). If employees choose to only attend for 1.5 hours, it is
their responsibility to gather the information they missed.
THE BRASS TACKS…
We have a legal obligation to provide SpEd services to
students as required by their IEPs. It is also expected
that professionals will adhere to the schedules they
have arranged with their schools as closely as
possible.
As such, employees will not be permitted to trade days
or adjust their hours in order to be compensated for their
time at faculty/staff meetings.
WHAT ABOUT OTHER TRAININGS?
When required to attend trainings during the
school day, part-time and full-time employees
(when applicable) need to work with RS
department administrators to arrange for services
to be delivered to their students by other
professionals (i.e. substitutes when possible).
HOW ABOUT COMP TIME?
As licensed personnel, all
employees are expected to
work until their job
responsibilities have been met.
• Full-time employees will not receive additional compensation for hours they work beyond their daily contract time.
• Part-time employees will not receive comp time for the hours they work beyond their daily contract time.• Please do not ask to “bank” hours and then use
those hours as leave or comp time at a later date.• If part-timers need to miss their regular work
hours due to illness or personal commitments, please do not ask to “trade” days. Please report and use the leave you have been given.
BITS OF COMPENSATION…
Medicaid Hours
SEP Makeup Hours
WHAT ABOUT PART-
TIMERS AND HOLIDAYS?
AS IN THE PAST…
If you are a part-timer, you are encouraged to work
the days that are in the middle of the week as much
as possible. • This provides students with the best bang for their
buck.
The size of your paycheck will not be affected by
having a Monday or Friday off.
Use the information provided by Meridee with your
time card to determine how many hours to work on
short weeks.
FOR EXAMPLE…
Labor Day is September 5th. That
leaves 32 hours of work for the week
for full-time employees. Multiply 32
hours by your FTE to find how many
hours you are to work for the week. If
you are .4 FTE, you need to work 12.8
hours.
LEAVE WITHOUT PAY?
All applicable paid leave available to an employee shall be
used prior to unpaid leave usage (5.12.1[b])
Unpaid leaves of absences for fewer than 10 work days may
be approved by the principal or program supervisor. (5.12.4)• The reason for the leave and the employee’s previous leave
history will be taken into account when making this determination.
Unpaid leave beyond 10 work days must be approved by the
Superintendent (5.12.14)
