If a driver currently has accumulated the maximum of ten (10) merit days and is granted two (2) additional days (earned the prior year), he/she must use the two days in the current year or the days will be forfeited. However, if the driver applies to use either or both days and is denied the time, the driver shall be paid at the current step 1 base pay rate for the day(s) denied. This is the only situation in which a driver is paid at a rate lower than his/her own rate.
Merit Days. Each employee will be eligible to qualify for a one (1) Merit Day if over a 90 calendar day period the employee does not take a sick/emergency or unpaid leave day. Twelve (12) month employees can earn up to four (4) Merit Days. Ten (10) month employees can earn up to three (3) Merit Days. Preapproved absences (personal, funeral, jury leave) do not impact eligibility for earning a Merit Day. The use of a Merit Day is subject to prior approval from the Director of Facilities and Transportation and may only be taken when school is not in session. It is the sole responsibility of the employee to notify the Director of Facilities and Transportation upon completion of the 90-day period. Merit Days must be used in the fiscal year they were earned (July 1 through June 30), unless earned in the last quarter of the fiscal year and cannot otherwise be used by June 30. A Merit Day earned in the last quarter of the fiscal year, must be used prior to the start of the next school year. Upon approval of the Director of Facilities and Transportation, unused Merit Days may be placed in the employee’s sick and emergency bank.
