Determining
the Hourly Rate for Summer Service Teachers
|
| Calculation
of Hourly Rate
|
For services performed in a teaching
title, the hourly rate is determined by dividing the annual salary by 1,736.
For services performed in a non-teaching title, the hourly rate is
determined by dividing the annual salary by 2,000.
Location pay is not included in the
calculation of the hourly rate.
|
| Hourly
Rate Based on Titled Positions
|
Teachers shall receive summer service
compensation as follows:
1. For services performed in the
same titled position or any other position allocated to the same salary
grade, payment will be made at the hourly rate based upon the annual salary
of the regular position.
2. For services performed in a
position allocated to a lower grade than the regular position, payment will
be made at the hourly rate based upon the annual salary at the job rate of
the grade of the lower position or at the appropriate longevity step for
which the employee would be eligible upon appointment to the lower grade.
However, this rate may not exceed the employee’s regular hourly rate of
pay.
3. For services performed in a
position allocated to a higher grade, payment will be made at the hourly
rate based upon the annual salary the employee would receive upon promotion
to the higher grade.
NOTE: A
dual employment letter is required for teachers working summer service in
other than their regular agency.
