SALARY DEDUCT. A salary deduct, if necessary, will be an amount equal to the daily rate of the professional employee so affected; however, in the event a professional employee has used up all his/her accumulated sick leave, the deduct will be 1/270th of the employee’s annual contract.
SALARY DEDUCT. Each year numerous requests are received from staff members to be absent from duty with a salary deduct for a variety of reasons. Because of the number of requests and the length of time involved, it has become necessary to place a limitation upon the number of days a staff member may be absent with a salary deduct. The maximum number of days a staff member may be absent from duty with a salary deduct will be four (4) working days per contractual year) unless otherwise covered by Board policy, or approved by the Superintendent (unusual conditions). The five (5) consecutive deduct days taken immediately prior to taking sick leave bank days shall not be counted for this purpose. As much advance notice as possible is necessary. The ability to continue the educational program will be a criteria in determining the appropriateness of such unpaid leave. Staff members are expected to fulfill the contractual obligations for which they were employed. Absenteeism should be confined primarily to those reasons covered by the Sick Leave and other Board of Education approved policies. This limitation in salary deduct days is deemed essential to the educational welfare of the students attending the Newark Schools. Therefore, the use of salary deduct days in excess of four (4) working days per contractual year will subject the employee to disciplinary action up to and including discharge, unless the absence is otherwise covered by Board policy or approved by the Superintendent. Special Leave with salary deduct is intended to cover circumstances outside other leave agreement and policies.
SALARY DEDUCT. In the event the teacher is absent from duty except as hereinafter specified, deduction shall be made from the salary for each day of absence as provided by the rules and regulations of the board. Deductions shall be made in the event such absence is not covered by sick leave or result of other authorized absence in accordance with and subject to the rules and regulations of the board. The salary deducts of a day's loss of wages shall be computed by dividing the teacher's contract by the number of contract days.
