Differential Pay Leave. For good reason, employees may be granted “differential pay” leaves by the District with the approval of the Superintendent (or designee) and the Association President (or designee). Employees on differential pay leave will be compensated at the differential pay rate. Denial of this leave shall not be subject to the Grievance Procedure.
Differential Pay Leave. When a unit member is absent from duty on account of illness or accident for a period of one-hundred (100) work days or less, the amount deducted from the salary due for any month in which the absence occurs shall not exceed the then current rate of pay for the short term or long term substitutes, employed to replace the unit member, exclusive of the rate for a “super substitute” (defined as a unit member on a re-employment list who is entitled to receive his or her regular rate of pay), or, if no substitute was employed, the amount which would have been paid to a substitute had a substitute been employed. For purposes of this article only, a school month is defined as twenty (20) days on which a unit member is required to work. The one-hundred (100) work days shall begin to run on the first day of absence following the exhaustion of the current school year’s sick leave and all accrued but unused sick leave from previous years. An employee shall not be provided more than one, one-hundred (100) day period per illness or accident. If the illness or accident continues into a new school year, the employee, while ill or injured, may use up to the balance of one- hundred (100) day period. Use of extended illness leave and return there from is subject to the physician verification provisions of this Article and Board policy. When a unit member has exhausted all available sick leave, including accumulated sick leave, and the member is unable to resume the duties of his/her position and continues to be absent due to illness or accident beyond the five-month period, the employee, if not placed in another position, shall be placed on the reemployment list for a period of twenty- four (24) months, if probationary, or thirty-nine (39) months, if permanent. When the employee, during the twenty-four (24) or thirty- nine (39) month period provides a physician’s confirmation and release to do the essential functions of a position for which he/she is credentialed and qualified, the employee shall be placed in such a position.
