Leave

Professional employees are defined as employees issued a contract. Leave for Classified Employees is governed by the parameters listed in the Classified Salary Policies.

Professional employees must work a minimum of 20 contracted hours per week to be eligible for accumulated leave. Professional employees will accrue 12 days of leave per contract year. Usage of leave will be at the discretion of the employee, with supervisor approval, for the reasons of illness, funeral, emergencies, community service or personal circumstances. The maximum amount of accumulated leave is 180 days.

Employees will be allowed to use 12 days of leave in any one-contract year. An employee who used more than 12 days in one contract year would have 1/183 deducted from his/her contracted salary for each day beyond the 12 days. An exception would be an extreme long-term, medical condition verified in writing from a physician or care provider. 

Guaranteed Leave Incentive: A guaranteed amount of money will be set aside to ensure teachers who miss 2.0 days or less shall receive a financial incentive for exceptional attendance. The guaranteed leave incentive shall be distributed using a shares method based on the number of days missed.

Retirement Leave Incentive: Retiring employees that have worked for the District a minimum of 10 years in a leave-qualifying capacity and are eligible for immediate retirement with URS are eligible for payout of unused accumulated leave days at a percent of daily rate outlined in District Policy.
