All days in this article are contract days unless otherwise noted. Employees other than those teaching in a self-contained classroom will be charged leave usage on an hour for hour basis on whole hours (a portion of an hour will be charged as a full hour of leave usage) unless a substitute must be hired solely to cover the absence of one employee in which case leave will be charged in one-half day (4-hour) increments.
