Common use of Certified Instructional Employees Work Day Clause in Contracts

Certified Instructional Employees Work Day. 1. All employees will be assigned normal starting and dismissal times by their immediate supervisor, Monday through Friday. The total normal workday will be seven and a half (7 ½) consecutive hours, including at least thirty (30) minute duty- free lunch period. The length of the regular required workday will be substantially equivalent for all certified instructional employees unless an operational necessity dictates otherwise. 2. An ‘operational necessity’ shall be defined as a condition that is mandated by the State of New Mexico, New Mexico Public Education Department or the United States Department of Education and which requires the District to assign licensed instructional employees to professional responsibilities beyond the normal work- day. 3. As soon as possible after the District receives the mandate, the District shall meet and confer with the Association on the implementation of any operational necessity experienced by the District. If the parties agree that modifications to the Agreement need to be made, the parties will execute a memorandum of under- standing reflecting any modifications to wages, hours, the impact on educational programs or practices that are mandatory subjects of bargaining. 4. When delayed openings occur due to inclement weather, the workday of em- ployees will be adjusted the same amount of time as the students’ delayed report- ing. When inclement weather requires early dismissal, employees’ dismissal will be dependent on the presence of students and other operational needs. Under normal circumstances, operational needs shall not include staff meetings. The safety of students and employees will be the determining factor. 5. In addition to the normal workday provisions set forth in (7.B.1) above, licensed instructional employees shall complete student assessments, lesson preparations, and parent conferences that may result in an extension of the normal workday. The instructor shall have the discretion to determine whether the responsibility will be performed during the work day or beyond the work day. 6. Each licensed school instructor may be required to attend a maximum of three
