Employees who are not eligible under statute to teach the additional hour of instruction shall have a seven and one-half (7.5) hour workday and be paid accordingly, unless specifically designated to work an extra hour to provide class coverage under the school’s master schedule. The additional 30 minutes worked per day will be paid at the employee’s hourly rate of pay.
