Employees on Long Term Supply Assignments Employees completing long term supply assignments may only access sick leave and short term disability leave in the fiscal year in which the allocation was provided. Any remaining allocation may be used in subsequent long term supply assignments, provided these occur within the same fiscal year. Employees employed in a Long Term Supply Assignment which is less than the ordinary period of employment for the position shall have their sick leave and short term disability allocations pro-rated accordingly. Where the length of the long term supply assignment is not known in advance, a projected length must be determined at the start of the assignment in order for the appropriate allocation of sick leave/short term disability leave to occur. If a change is made to the length of the assignment, an adjustment will be made to the allocation and applied retroactively.
Teaching Assignments No employee shall be assigned to teach in a grade level and/or subject area not within the scope of his/her teaching certificate, except where a position within his/her certification is unavailable or when mutually agreed to by the affected employee and principal, or when determined necessary by the principal. Employees assigned to positions outside the scope of their certificates shall be assigned as soon as possible to positions for which they hold certification.
Shift Assignments When an opening occurs in a shift assignment in an appropriate work group at a location, preference shall be given to employees within the classification who possess the training, ability and any required special qualifications to perform the work required, on the basis of seniority. In the event that no employee desires a shift assignment, employees shall be selected in order of inverse seniority. This provision shall not apply to necessary training assignments. This provision shall not in itself alter the practice of rotating shifts where such practice presently exists. No employee who has a regular shift assignment on the effective date of the Agreement shall be involuntarily displaced from such shift assignment as a result of this Article.
Non-Assignment PROVIDER shall neither assign its rights nor delegate its duties under this Agreement without the prior written consent of A&M System.
TEACHING LOADS AND ASSIGNMENTS A. The Board has the right to determine class schedules (Article III, Board Rights). The normal teacher load would include one preparation period for each full day equal in time to the teaching period length. The Association would be notified of possible changes in the schedule. Some of the reasons for schedule changes could be a change in the State requirements, student needs, financial hardship, etc. (This list is not intended to be all inclusive.)
1. With the exception of a preparation period, teachers may be assigned to various locations throughout the buildings at the discretion of the Board fifteen (15) minutes prior to classes beginning and ending.
2. Secondary teachers may be assigned an additional teaching period at a rate equivalent to one (1) period of their normal teaching load. This will be avoided as much as possible unless a scheduling problem would arise.
3. In the case where it is advantageous and beneficial to run a zero (0) hour class for students at the High School, no teacher shall be required to take that position. Any teacher who voluntarily accepts such a position shall either be compensated at their teacher rate or shall be allowed to end their work day one class hour prior to the end of the student day.
4. Teachers in grades K-5 will not be required to have recess duty. The time established for vocal music, physical education, study skills, computers, etc. shall be used for preparation time for K-5 teachers. This time shall not be reduced to less than a forty-five (45) minutes for K-5.
B. The Board shall make every effort to equalize teaching loads so that no High School or Middle School teacher shall be required to have more than three (3) preparations. However, when a teacher is assigned more than three (3) preparations the teacher shall be compensated Two Hundred ($200.00) Dollars per semester. The exceptions to the above preparations shall be teachers assigned to music, physical education, industrial education, and art. Extra Prep is defined as any course that is listed under a different course name and number, has a different course description, and requires different lesson plans.
C. The Xxxxx Professional Education Association and the Xxxxx Board of Education agree that it is the responsibility of all staff to be knowledgeable of changes in the law that have an affect on their position. Because of the critical nature of compliance with the law, notification concerning changes in the law will be shared between the Association and the Board.
Overtime Assignments 1. In classifications where employees are eligible for overtime pay, overtime work shall be offered to employees within the work location involved from the appropriate work group in continuing rotation on the basis of seniority. Each employee shall be selected in turn according to his/her place on the seniority list by rotation provided, however, the employee whose turn it is to work possesses the qualifications, training and ability to perform the specific work required.
2. An employee requesting to be skipped when it becomes his/her turn to work overtime shall not be rescheduled for overtime work until his/her name is reached again in orderly sequence and an appropriate notation shall be made on the overtime roster.
3. In the event no employee accepts required overtime work, the State shall assign employees within the work location involved from the appropriate work group to perform the overtime work by continuing rotation in inverse order of seniority. Employees who are unavailable, including employees who are on vacation, sick leave or other approved leaves of absence, and employees for whom the requirement of overtime work would cause undue hardship, shall be excused from a required overtime assignment. Employees so excused shall not lose their eligibility for overtime work within the then current rotation.
4. Work in progress, when appropriate, shall be completed by the employee performing the work at the time the determination is made that overtime is required except that an employee for whom the requirement of overtime work would cause undue hardship shall be excused from the overtime assignment.
Delegation; Assignment PFPC Trust may assign its rights and delegate its duties hereunder to any affiliate of PFPC Trust or of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc., provided that PFPC Trust gives the Fund 30 days' prior written notice of such assignment or delegation.
Extra Duty Assignments (A) Teachers are required to supervise their students at all times, including recess, during the normal school day for teachers. No teacher will be required to supervise students during their duty-free lunch, nor during their preparation time, except in cases of emergency.
(B) Teachers may be required to perform non-compensated service to students, which extend beyond the normal school day for teachers in cases of emergency. Attendance at Board meetings, PTA/PTO meetings which cannot be concluded during the normal teaching day, and parent conferences shall occasionally be required.
(C) The PLCAC will make recommendations regarding the procedures for the supervision of students.
(D) Each principal shall solicit volunteers from the regular teaching staff, the support staff, and the itinerant staff to perform scheduled routine jobs occurring during the bargaining unit member’s normal school day.
(E) Should there be an insufficient number of volunteers from the stated staff pool to perform the scheduled routine jobs during the normal school day for teachers, the principal will complete the schedule by assigning the remaining staff as equitably as possible.
(F) Staff members who are proficient in a second language, and are asked to serve as a translator outside of their regularly scheduled work day, shall be compensated based on the contractual extra duty rate of pay. Outside the regularly scheduled work day will be defined as:

(J) Qualified volunteers for said activities will be solicited from the bargaining unit members first, and then from non-bargaining unit members at stipends not to exceed those printed on the salary schedule.
Overtime Assignment A. In institutional settings when the Agency determines that overtime is necessary, overtime shall be offered on a rotating basis, to the qualified employees who usually work the shift where the opportunity occurs. If no qualified employees on the shift desire to work the overtime, it will be offered on a rotating basis first to the qualified employee with the most state seniority at the work site. When there are no volunteers to work the overtime as outlined above, and/or where an emergency exists, reasonable overtime hours may be required by the Agency. Such overtime shall be assigned, on a rotating basis, first to the qualified employee with the least state seniority at the work site. This policy shall not apply to overtime work which is specific to a particular employee’s claim load or specialized work assignment or when the incumbent is required to finish a work assignment.
B. In non-institutional settings, the Agency reserves the right to schedule and approve overtime. In emergency situations overtime may be approved after the fact. Required overtime that can be worked by more than one (1) employee at the work site (that which is not specific to the particular employee’s case load or specialized work assignment) will be offered on a rotating, state seniority basis. If no qualified employee volunteers for the work, or where an emergency exists, then the qualified employee with the least state seniority at the work site will be assigned on a rotating basis.
C. The parties recognize that in both institutional and non-institutional settings, that the Employer has the right to require mandatory overtime where necessary; however, the Employer will not abuse the utilization of mandatory overtime.
Shift Assignment Should the University elect to establish a shift on any other schedule than the regular day shift (Monday through Friday) or to assign employees to work on any such shift, the employee(s) with the most seniority in the classification affected or to be assigned on such shift shall have preference in moving to such shift. If an insufficient number of employees in the classification elect to move to such shift, then the employee(s) with the least seniority in the classification shall be assigned to such shift. If positions or shifts are reduced or eliminated or movement of personnel to other shifts is required, then the seniority of the affected employee will prevail in the selection of shift, provided the affected employee can do the required work. Such shift preference is only applicable within the employee's classification.
