Common use of Daily Absences Clause in Contracts

Daily Absences. Each full-time teacher shall be granted twelve paid leave days each contract year to be absent from work without loss of compensation. Teachers with less than 1.0 FTE will have their paid leave days pro-rated (Rounding rules apply to nearest ½ day). Teachers who are hired for less than 185 days will have their paid leave days pro-rated in accordance with the number of their contractual days (Rounding rules apply to nearest ½ day). Effective with the 2020-2021 school year, if day(s) is/are taken before or after the break, two (2) paid leave days will be charged for each day taken (such as Labor Day, Fall Break, Thanksgiving Break, Winter Break, Spring Break, Election/In-service Days, MLK Day, Memorial Day, Snow Make-Up Day). Should a teacher have an “unforeseen circumstance,” a teacher may appeal this “two for one charge” by filing a written appeal with the School Corporation’s Human Resource Office within ten (10) school days following the absence on those designated days. The written appeal should set forth an explanation of any “unforeseen circumstance(s)” and the written appeal should have attached to it any documentation to support the claim(s). The Superintendent or a Central Office Administrator designated by the Superintendent will review the appeal and respond to the teacher.
