Stipend for Fringe Benefits Sample Clauses

Stipend for Fringe Benefits. The following stipend shall be paid to eligible non-probationary Special Education and Title I Paraeducators who are normally scheduled to work 20 hours or more per week. For purposes of determining eligibility, this minimum hour requirement must be served in a single employment classification, and hours worked in more than one employment classification, cannot be added or combined in order to meet the minimum work hour requirements to be eligible for this stipend. Such eligible employees may either take the stipend in cash or may use it towards any fringe benefit plan which is willing to provide coverage [after review and approval of such a plan by the District, which will include examining the administrative resources needed and any other impact upon the District] or may participate in any of the fringe benefit programs offered by the District if permitted by the carrier, with such participation being at the group premium rate and at the bargaining unit member’s own expense [same note as above applies]. Any benefit premiums shall be paid by the employee through payroll deduction. The District shall make payroll deduction available to employees who want to use and/or supplement this stipend for benefit purposes. The payment of this stipend for an eligible employee on an unpaid leave shall terminate at the end of the month following the last day the employee was on the payroll. Special Education and Title I Paraeducators normally scheduled to work 30 hours or more per week will receive $195.00 per month. Special Education and Title I Paraeducators normally scheduled to work between 20– 30 hours per week will earn a prorated amount of $155.00 per month. [For purposes of an example, if an eligible employee works 20 hours per week, they shall receive 2/3 of $155.00 = $103.33].
